Cinematography

As a certified drone pilot, I deliver dynamic aerial footage that adds cinematic scale and visual intrigue.

Effective

I approach typography as a visual voice — selecting and styling type to reflect tone, clarity, and emotion. Whether it’s for screen or print, every letter is placed with intention to enhance both readability and aesthetic impact.

Story First,
Always

Every project I take on starts with the core story—what’s being said, and why it matters. I shape the visuals and structure around that narrative to create work that resonates.

Adaptable Across
Any Medium

From print to pixels to motion, I pivot seamlessly between platforms. This flexibility keeps my work versatile, relevant, and technically sound.
Before After

Driven by Data
& Insight

Most of what I do is skill, structure, and software. But there’s always a bit of something unexplainable that ties it all together.

Collaborative
by Nature

Whether solo or part of a team, I thrive on shared vision and open communication. Great work happens when ideas are exchanged, not guarded.

Visual Language

Design choices aren’t just aesthetic—they’re communicative. I use shape, space, and style to create cohesion and guide the viewer’s experience.

Some of my Stuff

My portfolio is a curated collection of pixels, paper, and perfectly timed drone shots—crafted with equal parts caffeine and creativity. From federal campaigns to backcountry adventures, it’s proof I can make just about anything look good (even bureaucracy).

My Three Lenses

Every creator sees the world in layers. These are mine—how I view it, how I shape it, and why it matters.
The Eye

How I See the World

The Craft

Where Art Meets Process

Every frame starts
with intention

I don’t shoot everything... I shoot what speaks.

Story Structure.
Flow matters.

My timelines follow emotional rhythm, not just logic.

Post as Poetry. Color
is emotion.

Editing isn’t just technical...
it’s narrative.

Place Anchors... Setting
is a character.

Environments shape the experience... and the frame.

Gear-Driven. Right tool, right job.

From drones to lenses, everything earns its place.

Time + Timing. Patience is part of the process.

I wait for the right light, for clouds, and for meaning.
The Story

Why It Matters

Beneath the visuals is the reason. Every image is tied to a moment, a memory, a message.

Field Notes

Stories From the
Real World

Whether it’s the middle of nowhere or the middle
of a job, I document moments that would
disappear without a lens.
Creative Work

From Concept...
to Capture

Client projects, personal experiments, and motion design all live here—where story, gear, and
imagination meet in frame.

And more to come

Darren is a rare blend of creativity and reliability. He handled our brand’s promotional video from storyboard to final edit—and nailed it. Professional, fast, and intuitive. Will hire again in a heartbeat.

Jordan K.

Creative Dir. Orbit Agency

I came to Darren with a jumbled mess of ideas for my brand. He not only designed the logo, but helped shape the entire visual language of my business. He’s like a creative Swiss army knife.

Steve H.

Small Business Owner

From print pieces to large-scale murals, Darren’s work is always on-brand and unforgettable. He took a concept we were struggling to visualize and turned it into a piece now seen daily by thousands. Total pro.

Emily R.

Marketing Coordinator, USAFA

Darren’s video production for our internal safety campaign was powerful and moving. It sparked real conversation across the agency. We’ve never had that kind of engagement before.

Tiffany M.

National Park Service

Darren helped us develop an identity system that actually feels human. Our communications are clearer, our events feel more professional, and our donors have taken notice.

Jeff R.

CEO, Non-Profit

The BBQ poster Darren created for our VA Summer of Service event was an absolute hit! Clean, vibrant, and perfectly targeted. It brought in a huge turnout—and made me look good too.

Marcus D.

VA Outreach Coordinator

His drone footage? Unreal. Darren’s aerial cinematography from Jekyll Island made my website pop—and definitely helped close a few client deals. The guy knows his skies.

Zach L.

Freelance Developer

I needed headshots, but Darren went above and beyond. His eye for lighting and composition gave me photos I actually love. That’s a first. Can’t recommend him enough.

Natalia S.

Independent Artist

I’ve worked with a lot of designers and editors—Darren’s one of the few who understands the platform, the audience, and the story all at once. You don’t have to explain things twice. That’s gold.

Amanda C.

Social Media Manager

needed someone to produce intro visuals for my show and ended up with a full branding overhaul. Darren brings serious vision and can pull everything together. Also—he’s just cool to work with.
