Projects

Independent Videographer & Filmmaker – Maryland

As an independent videographer and filmmaker based in Maryland, I produce professional video and photography content including corporate interviews, promotional media, event coverage, and narrative projects. I operate through my production website TruestyleProductions.com, where I create visual content for businesses, organizations, and professionals.

Corporate & Institutional Media
I have filmed professional interview content for the Community College of Baltimore County, including interviews with executive leadership and faculty members for institutional media projects. These productions required professional lighting setups, clean audio capture, and multi-camera interview framing for polished, professional content.

Promotional Video Content
I have produced short promotional videos and social media content for businesses and individuals, including cinematic fitness promotional reels designed to highlight services and engage audiences across digital platforms.

Corporate Headshots & Professional Photography
I create professional corporate headshots and branding photography for businesses and individuals, managing the full process from studio lighting setup and subject direction to final photo retouching and delivery using Adobe Lightroom.

Event & Documentary-Style Coverage
My work also includes capturing documentary-style video and photography coverage of events, educational environments, and real-world activities to produce engaging visual storytelling and promotional media.

Music Video Production
I have shot and edited multiple music videos including Lessons and Time Gone Come for NBG Leeky, Run Up for NBGK Leeky and Qwon Da Don, and Beating the Odds and How I Feel for Empsy Morningstar. These projects involved directing talent, operating camera systems, designing lighting setups, and completing full post-production edits.

Narrative Filmmaking
I have written, produced, directed, and edited narrative short films including Office Night, a suspense story about a teacher whose quiet evening is disrupted by an unexpected visitor, and A Win Is A Win, a comedic short about two friends attempting to plan a bank robbery.

Production & Post-Production Skills
I manage the full production process including camera operation, lighting setup, directing talent, and post-production editing using Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe After Effects, and Adobe Lightroom.
