Made in NYC.
Made by hand.

I started Creative Light Studio in New York because I wanted to make the kind of pictures and films I couldn’t find anywhere else. Not the polished, plastic version. The ones that feel like a real moment, lit like a movie still.

My background is half technical, half stubborn. I learned light the slow way — bouncing off walls, blowing out the highlights, then doing it again until the frame felt inevitable. Eight years later, that obsession hasn’t left.

I work with people and brands across NYC. Founders who need a headshot that doesn’t look like LinkedIn. Couples who want their wedding to look like the way it actually felt. Brands who need visuals that hold up when the homepage loads on a retina screen at 11 p.m.

Photography and videography, mostly. Brand systems and short films when the project asks for it. Always small crews, always hand-graded, always built to last longer than the trend cycle.
