DYNEX Technologies + PROGEN

You surely know me for crafting polished still imagery for brands and commercial clients, but you might be surprised to learn that I bring the same precision, narrative, and compelling visual impact to motion; like this recent promotional video I produced for DYNEX Technologies, showcasing their medical laboratory testing equipment and announcing a new industry partnership.

DYNEX has trusted me to capture stills for their marketing and leadership for years, so when they approached me to film this promotional spot, I was excited to be entrusted with the creative freedom to bring their script to life.

After the usual planning and scouting, all shots were completed in one full day of filming, including all scripted imagery along with B-roll vital to tying all shots together.  Post-production was carried out in collaborative stages, and was completed in time for DYNEX to exhibit the promo alongside live product demos at tradeshows to begin the year announcing their new partnership with PROGEN.  This project also provided the pleasure of once again working with a voice actor in addition to the on-screen talent.

Videography is a creative and technical skill I love being able to exercise in visualizing my perspective and share it with the World.  2025 was my most videography focused year in recent history; looking forward to the next vivid video project!

Ben's Chili Bowl's 65th Anniversary at Reagan National

August 22, 2023 marked a milestone for one of DC’s most loved institutions: Ben’s Chili Bowl.  Three days later, the Ali family joined everyone at Ronald Reagan National Airport to celebrate Ben's Chili Bowl's 65th anniversary.  After words by the airport and Ali family, the party started with the soulful beat of "The Real DC: Go-Go & Ben's" by DJ Mello T, and the rhythmic vibes of Sirius Company.  While passengers and airport employees alike jammed out to the concert with some half-smokes, the Ali family met fans for pictures in front of their airport location.

Ben’s Chili Bowl also used the occasion to announce their partnership with Giant Foods, where patrons can now buy the famous half-smokes and chili to enjoy at home, and their newest upcoming airport location at Washington Dulles International Airport.  The legacy of Ben's Chili Bowl at Ronald Reagan National Airport is not merely about gastronomic delights; it's a living testament to the blend of community, culture, and the indomitable spirit that continues to define the heart of our nation's capital.

Sandstone Care: Chantilly, VA Detox Center

Starting off 2023, Sandstone Care opened its latest treatment center in Virginia, the Virginia Detox Center in Chantilly.

The Virginia Detox Center is a medical detox and inpatient treatment facility serving Fairfax and Loudoun Counties, providing care for young adults and adults to overcome substance use, addiction, and co-occurring mental health conditions.  Patients are provided 24/7 medical supervision, daily residential programming and therapy sessions, and forming a pathway to discharge from intake.  The center also provides support for those in transitional living communities, Partial Hospitalization, and Intensive Outpatient Programs.

I captured marketing and promotional images of the new facility for Sandstone Care, which has been widely utilized on their website, social media, and facility directory listings.
