Compositing & Lighting Artist | Film · TV · Animation · Stereo
Since 2014, I’ve specialized in compositing and lighting across feature films, episodic TV, animation, and music videos. My expertise includes green screen keying, color correction, CG integration, stereo compositing, depth map creation, clean plating, and look development. I work extensively with Nuke, Unreal Engine 5, Fusion, DaVinci Resolve, Mocha, and Silhouette.
Most recently, I had the honor of collaborating with Lubomir Arsov on his short film KINGDOM, now released on YouTube.
