Let's work together
Based in Connecticut and only a short hop from New York City, I can work as a local throughout New England, NYC, and Los Angeles. NON-UNION

Late winter breakfast? Spring brunch? Is it June? Is fruit in season? Who knows (cares?) anymore. Homemade flapjacks from secret family recipe. Stay warm my fellow New Englanders. Stay healthy everyone else. #newengland #brunch #flapjacks #familyrecipe #iphone11 #lightroommobile
The couple that tandem kayaks together stays together (perhaps this was more challenging than the couple that self isolates for six week together). Great day getting fresh air and sun thanks to wonderful aunt and uncle who had a second kayak #tandemkayak #troystory2019 #wildernesssystemskayaks
Just because we’re #socialdistancing to #flattenthecurve doesn’t mean we can’t get ready for #Tokyo2021
There are magical places on this planet and I feel so lucky to catch a glimpse. #yosemite #nationalparkservice #nps #findyourpark #iphone11 #lightroommobile
One of our favorite parts of our wedding was our first dance. When we first heard the acoustic “living room” session of “Where You Are” by @tenilletownes, @kmtroy2019 and I knew we found our wedding song. We kept it secret for so long because we wanted it to be uniquely ours. As a surprise to Katie, I bought us tickets to the Dierks Bentley concert in Hartford back in August, but what Katie didn’t know was Tenille was opening the show, and that was really why I got the tickets. Afterward we had a chance to meet her and express how excited we were to have her song as the anthem of our life together. She signed our wedding invite. We look forward to catching her perform live again sometime soon. 📷 @morzellphoto
Some people dread winter. I grab my beanie and backpack and say bring it on.

October 5th will forever be my favorite day of the year, not only because it was the most beautiful start to my life together with @katiezoppo but because it will forever remind me of that incredible time our friends and family traversed the planet to celebrate starting under a golden leaf canopy and ending beneath the stars. MANY more photos to come, but let’s just start here, with the end of our weekend, and work our way back from there. #troystory2019 #newenglandwedding #vermont #minimoon
Cinematography for me has been about experimentation, exploration of imagination, observation, and trial and error. A great deal of my prep (after discussing with the director and production designer about tone) is learning from other generous filmmakers who share how they made something come to life on screen. Here is my chance to share what we did for this film, with hopes that it helps an aspiring filmmaker one day make their dreams a reality.

I met @etachoir back in 2005 during @nyutisch freshman orientation, and since then I have had the privilege to shoot nearly every one of her films. Last week we raised the bar again in a beautiful alleyway in Brooklyn.
Thanks to the generous sharing of talents from my crew, I felt like the cinematographer I feared I was failing to be, and turned an image in our imaginations into a realty.
Special thanks to Jon Minard for the G&E and @cinemavisionrentals for the incredible camera and lens support!
I will break down the design in another post soon for those who are curious. 📷 @katiezoppo

This is a dream come true... one I’m not sure I would have ever experienced. And it all was possible because of so many remarkable people who joined me on this journey. Thank you to the CT Fire Chiefs Association for trusting me and my team with this message. Thank you to the more than 80 volunteer firefighters from 16 fire departments who donated their time to this project, especially Dave and Rob who kept us safe and helped us get the money shot, and Chris for being my FD-line producer. Thank you to my INCREDIBLE crew who gave of their talents, especially @greg_wilson_dp and @paulpenczner. Thank you to @NYU and @nyutisch for teaching me how to tell a story through light and lens and for introducing me to my incredible friends. Thank you to my family for supporting my filmmaking dreams, especially my mother and sister and grandparents. Thank you Dad for putting a camera in my hands when I was a kid. And thank you to my love @katiezoppo, who tied my bow tie tonight and supports me as a firefighter and a filmmaker. I’m proud of this honor, but must importantly, I’m proud to support the Connecticut fire service. I am truly humbled. #neemmy #thisonesfor #nyu @newenglandemmy @nyualumni @fortnight_post @imchriscasey @insaintcam
