So, who am I.

I'm Ian — an LA-based videographer/editor with 5+ years building creator-driven content across studio and on-location environments. I specialize in YouTube-first storytelling, branded video, and platform-native production that actually keeps audiences watching.

At Apex Photo Studios I lead full-cycle video production: from lighting and audio capture to edit, delivery, and social strategy. I've also worked remotely for documentary and entertainment clients, and supported set production through hands-on camera operation and post-production workflows.
