WILD SHEEP RELOCATION

This short documentary captures the relocation of desert bighorn sheep to the Franklin Mountains in El Paso, documenting a major conservation effort to restore the species to its native range after decades of absence.

My role was to document the final capture, handling, and relocation process while working alongside the Wild Sheep Foundation and Texas Parks and Wildlife. The focus was on capturing real, unscripted moments while adapting to the demands of a complex wildlife operation.

Fishing the collection

Fishing the Collection, a series presented by the American Museum of Fly Fishing, brings historic bamboo rods out of the archives and back onto the water.

Through the perspective of modern anglers and guides, the series explores how these pieces of history perform today, how they compare to modern fly fishing technology, and what they reveal about the evolution of the sport.

PRODUCTION
Logo with large stylized letter 'A' and the word 'ASCEND' below it in white on a black background.

Shot on location across the Pacific Northwest, this campaign took place throughout Olympic National Park, utilizing a range of environments to capture lifestyle imagery for the Ascend brand. During pre-production, I oversaw budgets, logistics, talent, locations, and scheduling, while contributing to the overall video direction. Working within the challenges of unpredictable weather and protected land restrictions, the shoot required careful planning and adaptability from start to finish.
