Creative direction

The vision behind the visuals.

Concept development, reference boards, styling, shot lists, location scouting, and casting support. I stay in from the first idea to the last frame so every detail hits.

how I work this

The process.

  1. 01

    Tell me the brief

    Brand, channels, and what needs to exist when I wrap.

  2. 02

    I lock the scope

    Hours, deliverables, usage, and where the work lives.

  3. 03

    I make the work

    My Westlake Village studio or on location. Stills, motion, one partner.

How to book creative direction.

I book the day through five doors. These are the starting points for this craft — each one opens the matching way to work with me.

ways to work with me

Included with Brand Content

With a content day

Direction rides with Brand Content.

If I’m already on set for stills or motion, the boards, shot list, and styling are part of that day. Bring your idea, I’ll bring the creative.

  • Concept and references
  • Shot list
  • Styling on the day
  • Brand Content, typically $700–$1,200+

Starting at $450

Concept and boards

The thinking, before a camera comes out.

A standalone direction pass: references, shot list, and styling notes you can take into any production.

  • Reference board
  • Shot list
  • Styling notes
  • Call to talk through the brief

Starting point for a written estimate. If you book a content day after, this fee can apply to that production.

Pricing by inquiry

Campaign direction

When the idea needs a longer runway.

Launches, multi day productions, location and casting. I stay in from the first idea to the last frame.

  • Concept development
  • Location scouting
  • Casting support
  • On set direction

the usual booking

Brand Content. Direction included.

Brand Content — typically $700–$1,200+ — is how I book the thinking and the files in one pass. In the Studio is everything I make in my space — headshots, portraits, product, and full concepts. Bring your idea, I’ll bring the creative.
