ABOUT RIZ
Since 2006, I have been showing up at call and ready to work! I have experience working on a range of short and long format projects, with either small or large crews. The knowledge I have accumulated throughout the years, has inspired my passion for crafting light while leading a skilled and efficient team. I have the drive and expertise to confidently collaborate with my clients. I will meet any, and all challenges to help create their vision!
I offer work as a Gaffer and Lighting Designer, with experience in Video and Still Photography. I work with very skilled technicians and can crew your Grip & Electric Departments for any size project. I have a Sprinter Van with lighting equipment to rent, along with great relationships with other Grip & Lighting Rental Houses within the Portland/Seattle region. Need me to travel? My Sprinter Van is packed and ready to go! I appreciate your support!
