THE PERSON BEHIND THE LENS
02 / A LITTLE ABOUT ME
Hi, I’m Michael.
I like making
things happen.
I’m a videographer and the founder of Verve Visuals. Since 2014, I’ve been shooting brand films and events, working with crews and helping bring projects together.
My background started in live production, from operating cameras and cranes to live switching and technical direction. That hands-on experience still shapes how I work today.
Whether I’m directing a shoot or supporting the team on set, I care about the details that help a story come through.
