CMCK Media is a video production company. We do commercial advertising and professional photography.
As a filmmaker I learned what it meant to use a camera, write a script and edit a movie. As a marketer I learned the value of engagement and building communities around a brand. Now I combine what I've learned from two realms of thinking and over seven years of experience to create beautiful video, photo and animated content that engages audiences and tells compelling stories.

Best advice for posing for the camera.
Just be yourself.
Whether it’s a head tilt, toothy smile or just a serene expression, focus on being natural and being you.
Avoid trying to look perfect - you are perfect just the way you are.

Get close.
I use close-ups and extreme close-ups a lot in my work. It's something that has come to define my style of shooting. I love shallow focus, great bokeh, and intimate situations.
Many amateur photographers I find are resistant to getting too close. I've definitely felt that sense of anxiety when shooting that I'm invading someone's personal space.
But if you can develop trust with your subject or find a way to capture a candid moment in close up we can almost touch their emotions and trace feelings across their expression.
So don't be afraid to get close.

Running has always been an escape for me.
It's a great way to flesh out my thoughts or quiet my brain. I used to run 20 to 40 miles weekly depending on my training schedule.
Nowadays running comes once or twice a week. Turns out that running a business and having a toddler really takes a good amount of time.
But I still love it and get out when I can.

I love experimenting.
Sometimes when I get overwhelmed with client work and I feel drained and unmotivated I take some time to play in the studio. So I rope a few people around the office to be guinea pigs for new lighting and background setups.
So people like Spencer allow me to experiment and collaborate.

When your coffee is too beautiful not to photograph - you make yourself look like an idiot to photograph your coffee.

How many ND filters does it take to shoot an eclipse? Way too many. #canonc70
Where there is is a sunrise you just have to shoot.
My professor told me in college "You're an editor." I didn't believe him. As the years went on and my life changed - I discovered he was right. At the time, I wanted so badly to be a screenwriter and director. I fought so hard against being an editor because I didn't believe it was what I wanted. The truth is - if you're a good editor, your a good writer and a good director. It takes all of those skills and allows you to apply them. I also realized it was my gateway to starting my own business. When I first started - I was only doing editing work based on the freelance work I did previously. It also helped me in the pandemic because everyone had gone remote - I was already a remote editor before COVID ever hit. So, if you're thinking about breaking into the biz - learn how to be a good editor. It'll teach you most of what you need to know.
Sometimes awards don’t require big speeches. Just the beautiful sounds of tape being cut and the rustling of packing peanuts. Thanks, @tellyawards for recognizing the work! Really proud of this accomplishment! #tellyawards #tellyawards2023 #tellyawardwinner #unboxing
