About Me

Passionate Videographer | Storyteller | EMMY Award Winner

Hi, I’m Clay—a cinematographer driven by a passion for storytelling and the art of visual imagery. With nearly a decade of experience in sports journalism, freelance filmmaking, and digital content creation, I specialize in crafting cinematic narratives that captivate and inspire.

My approach is rooted in collaboration. From pre-production planning to the delicate choreography of lighting and camera movement, I work closely with creative teams to bring powerful ideas to life. Every frame is an opportunity to tell a story, and I use tools like Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, and Photoshop to ensure each project reaches its full visual potential.

My dedication to my craft has been recognized with an Emmy award and multiple nominations, milestones that reflect my commitment to creating compelling, impactful visuals. Whether it’s capturing the raw emotion of an athlete mid-play, or designing a shot that immerses the viewer in a story’s world, I aim to deliver work that resonates on a deeper level.

Sports have long been my greatest muse, shaping my ability to adapt quickly to challenges and find beauty in motion. The fast-paced energy of live events has honed my skills in timing, precision, and visual storytelling. But what truly inspires me are the people and emotions at the heart of every story—those moments of triumph, struggle, and transformation that connect us all.

In 2025, I’m looking forward to continuing my journey as a cinematographer—pushing boundaries, experimenting with new techniques, and collaborating on projects that leave a lasting impact. If you’re looking to turn bold ideas into stunning visuals, let’s connect and create something extraordinary.
