life's better when we're creating together

Shifting careers from research scientist to gaffer and educator, Tyler uses his evidence-based mindset to explore the world of film lighting while operating his 1-ton grip van and LED lighting package.

He has gaffed national and international campaigns including – but not limited to – on-location corporate interviews, TV commercials, social media advertising, green-screens, internal messaging, and even website banners.

Tyler works best in a team setting where he is able to engage in a collaboratively creative process.

In addition to being on-set, he also applies his technical background and love for science to in-depth, data-driven reviews and on-set tutorials for his YouTube channel.

In doing so, Tyler has created standardized metrics relied upon by manufacturers to improve their fixtures, while deepening his viewers’ understanding of the color science of LED lights and their practical applications.
