WaterVoyagers: Chinese Adventures
WaterVoyagers is a dynamic travel series that takes viewers aboard the world’s most spectacular cruise ships to explore breathtaking destinations, vibrant cultures, and unforgettable excursions. With exclusive access to onboard experiences and off-the-beaten-path adventures, each episode offers a front-row seat to the ultimate cruise vacation.
As the Director of Photography, Lead Photographer, and Editor, I am responsible for crafting the visual language of the series, from capturing cinematic footage and dynamic stills to leading the post-production editing process. I ensured each episode delivered a compelling, immersive experience for viewers, highlighting both the grandeur of cruise life and the authentic spirit of global destinations.
I have produced and shot exclusive documentary stories for INSIDER Inc., including the video series Risky Business and So Expensive. INSIDER is a leading digital media company known for delivering in-depth, engaging news, culture, and lifestyle content to a global audience. Through these series, INSIDER explores intriguing, often untold stories with a focus on economic risks and luxury lifestyles, and my work brings visually rich, immersive storytelling that connects viewers to underrepresented communities and compelling human experiences.

The Gulf’s Deadly Harvest
I was the photojournalist and editor for the Emmy Award-winning investigative documentary series The Gulf’s Deadly Harvest, produced in collaboration with investigative reporter Sally Kestin for the South Florida Sun Sentinel. This three-part series exposed the dangers of Vibrio vulnificus, a deadly bacteria found in Gulf Coast waters, and the severe health consequences faced by consumers of raw oysters. The investigation also uncovered how elected officials in Gulf states distorted the true cost of regulating the bacteria. My visual storytelling played a key role in delivering the urgency and impact of this public health issue.

Social Content Creation

The content ranged from behind-the-scenes features and cultural highlights to quick interviews and travel moments, optimized for mobile viewing and platform-specific trends.
SailTrek
SailTrek was a weekly travel program broadcast internationally across the United States, Canada, and the Caribbean on Go Traveler. The production team sailed between islands on a traditional tall ship, stopping to showcase the authentic Caribbean experience. The show offered viewers an immersive journey through the region's stunning natural beauty, culture, history, art, music, and cuisine—all while embracing the spirit of tall ship sailing.
As the Director of Photography, Lead Photographer, Segment Editor, and Editor for SailTrek, I was responsible for coordinating, conceptualizing, and capturing the primary video and photographic content for the series. I led the post-production of individual show segments, crafting visually engaging and informative stories that brought the Caribbean to life for audiences around the world.
CROSSING THE WATERS
Crossing the Waters (2023–2024) is a documentary highlighting the vital yet often overlooked contributions of Bahamian pioneers to the cultural and historical fabric of South Florida. As Director of Photography, Lead Editor, and Photographer, I crafted a compelling visual narrative that connects audiences to the stories, people, and places shaping this rich heritage. The film was a finalist at NewFilmmakers NY (2024) and an official selection at the Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival (2023).
