East coast raised, west coast based, Dan cut his teeth in action sports, filming skate videos and covering events. Long before “DP” was ever part of the plan, this is where he learned how to find a shot and tell a story with whatever gear and time he had, often on the fly, with no room for a second take.

He still works the same way now: quick, instinctive, and more interested in a real moment than a perfect one, wherever the project takes him. It’s an approach that shows up the same way whether he’s on an intimate shoot or a bigger production.

Dan’s since worked across branded and commercial projects for brands including Harley-Davidson, Uniqlo, One&Only, Slip, Free People, Nahamias and Buck Mason, bringing that same eye to every set he steps onto.

Matt’s journey into cinematography began by making surf films with his friends. This passion opened doors to travel across Europe and Indonesia, where he sought out the best surf spots with a small dedicated crew.

After a few years, Matt made a pivotal decision to relocate to London and immersive himself in the industry.  This period involved spending time on set, experimenting with cameras, and creating spec ads.

Since then Matt’s been working across commercials and documentaries for brands such as Land Rover, Lexus, and Samsung.  His self-taught approach has made Matt an incredibly collaborative and flexible DP, equally as comfortable working in remote locations with a small crew as he is in a fully equipped studio.
