MEET ME!

Hi, I'm Dakota and I love film and photography! I am an aspiring cinematographer and I am always ready to get behind the camera, get my hands dirty, and keep learning and growing. ​

​

Photography was one of my first loves. I first started learning on a film camera as a kid. I then was self-taught in late elementary school and throughout high school. I finally got my first DSLR camera once I entered college where I then received proper teaching. 

​

I discovered my love for filmmaking and cinematography in my first film class in college. I realized I loved the magic of all the possible ways you could tell a story through a moving image. Cinematography allows me to merge my love of photography and filmmaking by composing the look, feel, emotions, and the magical world in a scene.  

​

Although I am still in the early stages of my career, I have worked on various productions that have aired on major networks and pursued passion projects that continue to broaden my knowledge and expertise to bring me closer to my dreams.
