About

Telling your story has become both increasingly easy and yet more challenging than ever. Smart phones allow anyone to record anything. But that results in an overabundance of content vying for your viewers’ attention. In order to communicate a message, you must first seize the attention of your intended audience. As the amount of available content increases and the collective attention span of viewers decreases, capturing an audience becomes a greater challenge. It requires eye-catching visuals…that support compelling storytelling. As Director and Cinematographer of Digital Media Services, a high-end video production and commercial photography company based in the Tampa Bay area and working all around the country, I begin every client's project from the same starting point - I want to fully understand their message, their audience and their intended outcome...and I've never heard the same story twice. Digital Media Services supports ad agencies, corporate marketing departments and small businesses throughout the country by providing customized, top-quality video and photo services while offering a level of customer service and professionalism rarely seen in our industry. And our extensive marketing background allows us to seamlessly integrate into your team’s branding and communications efforts. I’m personally involved in every project whether it be a two-hour photo shoot for a corporate event or a weeks-long video production for a national branding campaign. We’re professional story-tellers. And we want to tell your story. Our biggest joy is a satisfied client. Questions and initial consultations are not only free, but encouraged. Top national brands trust us with their marketing visuals...perhaps you should too! Specialties: 4K Video Production, Digital Video Editing, Commercial Photography, TV Commercials, Branding Campaigns, Social Media Content and any type of corporate communications.
