As an assistant he was able to learn under some of the great DP’s of our time and truly immerse himself in the art of cinematography. While learning as a crew person, Colin was shooting anything and everything he could to grow as a cameraperson.

Colin’s unique cinematic style of lighting has been featured in HIGH DEF Magazine, as he continues to challenge himself and push his cinematic expression to the limits. Colin went on to Lens a variety of other film projects and TV shows such as the History channels “Engineering An Empire”, “Its All Geek To Me” for the Discovery Channel, “Whose Wedding is It Anyway” for the Style Network and many more. He has also entered the new world of web based content with innovative shows for Time.com, EntertainmentWeekly.com, SportsIllustrated.com, Essence.com where he has been at the front of the web video revolution taking place.
