Our Story

Motion Works Media came to life in 2022 with the purpose to create content that is authentic, meaningful, and leaves you with a feeling. In 2021, I felt the burnout from the corporate social media jungle and had to find a new path. I would create content around products, people, or events for big companies. But after a while, I started to get tired of the monotonous grind. I missed the creativity and freedom of photography and cinematography, so I started a side hustle.

At first, it was just a way to express the way I viewed the world. But pretty soon it became my full-time job. I loved being able to be creative and capture the world the way I saw it. I couldn't be happier. I’ve had the opportunity of traveling the world and documenting adventures that most people won’t experience within a lifetime.

I'm always looking for new and interesting stories to tell and I love to capture the emotion and connection between people. I believe that photography and cinematography are powerful tools for communication and connection. I strive to create art that is honest, intimate and full of humanity.
