Werner Transportation | Trevelino + Keller

“Nothing behind me, everything ahead of me, as is ever so on the road.” ― Jack Kerouac, On the Road

From leaning my head against the window, watching the landscape change on a family road trip, to pumping my fist in the air in desperation for that blaring horn of a passing truck, the romanticism of America’s open roads has always inspired me. These roads inspire ideas of freedom, choice, and possibility, ideas that continue to intrigue me to this day.

I had the opportunity to work with the incredible folks at Trevelino + Keller for Werner Enterprises. Together with producer Andrew Benson and DP Brandon Sullivan, our team captured and created images that reflect the various elements of the company’s portfolio and mission. In order to achieve more dynamic shots, we also partnered with local Arizona crane company, Reel Bros Media. Working with these behemoth trucks and swinging camera cranes is not an easy task and local law enforcement was also on-site to help with traffic. The entire shoot was a blast and an exciting glimpse into the industry that I’ve been fascinated with since childhood and the employees who make it all possible.

Petco | San Diego Padres

I was given the opportunity to work with Petco and the San Diego Padres creating social media and internal videos for Petco. I was super excited when I found out it would be with Padres stars Fernando Tatis Jr and Manny Machado. We worked through some scripts and played with some doggies. It always helps when you’re working with talent that is down to earth, and Tatis was just that. He really felt like he was happy and living in the moment with no reservations. I think I would be that way if I had his contract though!

Humans of Tempe | Commission

I was awarded a commission from Tempe History Museum to go out into the city of Tempe, make portraits and record stories. It was such an amazing experience to work freely finding subjects at random and creating images in diverse spaces. I think my favorite part of this project was being able to access a wide range of stories from complete strangers. The exhibition Humans of Tempe is open now through March of 2019 at Tempe History Museum, Tempe, AZ.
