A lake on the edge of Ho Chi Minh City framed by trees, shot on film

About

I'm based in Chicago. Before moving back, I spent several years shooting in Ho Chi Minh City. Different industries, different budgets, different languages on set.

Outside of work I'm a father of two daughters. I shoot film for fun, including every photo on this site, and I play tennis with my wife and friends whenever I can.
