About Jacob

I’m an award-winning cinematographer, editor, and versatile camera department professional with over a decade of experience bringing compelling visual stories to life. My work spans commercial, narrative, documentary, and digital content, with a proven ability to adapt to fast-moving sets and deliver high-impact visuals across platforms. As a cinematographer, I specialize in crafting emotionally resonant imagery through intentional lighting, thoughtful composition, and a strong command of camera movement. I’ve shot on a wide range of cinema cameras, including the Sony FX6, FX3, RED, and ARRI systems, bringing both technical precision and creative intuition to every project. My work has earned recognition for its cinematic aesthetic, dynamic storytelling, and ability to elevate the vision of directors and producers. As an editor, I bring the story full circle with a strong command of pacing, tone, and rhythm. I’m highly proficient in DaVinci Resolve, Adobe Premiere Pro, and After Effects, cutting everything from commercials and branded content to music videos, social media campaigns, and narrative films. I approach each edit with a strong sense of narrative structure and a deep understanding of how visuals, sound design, and color grade work together to create emotional impact. As a First Assistant Camera, I ensure flawless technical execution, maintaining focus with precision, managing lens changes, building and balancing rigs, handling camera reports, and supporting the DP and operator to keep the production moving efficiently. As a Second Assistant Camera, I’m experienced with slating, marking actors, managing media, organizing gear, and keeping the camera department dialed in and ready to react quickly on set.
