Commercials, brand films, and portraits.
Bakersfield & Los Angeles.
I’m Jonathan, a filmmaker, photographer, and creative director based in Bakersfield and working across Los Angeles. I make commercials, brand films, portraits, and campaign content with a hands-on process from idea to final delivery.
A little about meSome projects need a director. Others need a photographer, editor, or creative partner who can carry the whole thing. I meet each project where it is and build the right team around it.
I help find the idea, tone, and visual language that make the whole project feel connected.
Commercials, brand films, interviews, and social video—planned, shot, and delivered for the right screen.
Campaigns, portraits, products, and behind-the-scenes images that feel honest and intentional.
Editing, sound, color, pacing, and the small decisions that make the final piece land.
Identity and messaging that give every photo, film, and page a consistent point of view.
Simple, editorial websites and digital experiences built around the work—not around a template.
A good shoot should give you more than one good piece. I plan the film, stills, and shorter edits together, so you leave with a connected set of assets—not a folder of missed opportunities.

To hold attention. To make someone feel something. To show a person, a place, or an idea in a way they haven’t seen before. That’s the work I’m here to make.

Portraits, products, places, and the details between takes.
A considered final edit, with the formats you need to share it.
Good work comes from honest conversations, solid preparation, and keeping everyone in the loop.
We talk about the audience, the goal, and what the project really needs to say.

I’m based in Bakersfield and regularly work in Los Angeles, so clients get a creative partner who understands both communities—and the road between them.
Whether it’s a one-day shoot, an ongoing content partnership, or a full campaign, I can handle creative direction, production, photography, editing, and delivery.
