Best Cinematography award at the Hudson Film Festival, and multiple nominations at the Motor Film Awards.

My Portfolio

Afterglow

Afterglow is a deeply personal documentary following John Holzscheiter as he rebuilds both a classic BMW E9 and his own sense of purpose after the devastating loss of his son, AJ.

Lexus USA Amelia Island

On-the-ground coverage for Lexus at the Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance, one of the most prestigious collector car events in the world, held annually at The Ritz-Carlton in Amelia Island, Florida. A weekend where rare classics, motorsport icons, and modern supercars share the same field.

Rolex 24

Full coverage of the 61st Rolex 24 at Daytona, North America's most prestigious 24-hour endurance race. Over 60 cars, multiple classes, and round-the-clock action at Daytona International Speedway, captured from start to finish alongside the Lexus Racing team.

Ford GT40

An up-close look at one of the most legendary race cars ever built. The Ford GT40 — named for its 40-inch roof height — broke Ferrari's dominance at Le Mans with four consecutive wins from 1966 to 1969, and remains the only all-American victory in Le Mans history. Fewer than 100 were ever made.

Aprilia Race Weekend

Trackside coverage for Aprilia, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer and Piaggio Group's racing arm. From MotoGP-level competition to the raw sound and speed of their RSV4 and RS 660 lineups, this is two-wheel racing at the highest level — captured in the thick of it.
