The art of camera operating is a craft that demands not only the technical knowledge of the tool but also an in-depth understanding and feel for the script.
Joel is a Steadicam / Camera Operator currently based in Paris, France who is always looking to find the heart of a script and help translate it into dynamic images that will drive the story for both the Director and Cinematographer. This has led to many fruitful collaborative efforts with both local and foreign production companies. Armed with a deep knowledge and practice of both Film and High Definition cameras, Joel constantly strives to expand his repertoire in camera operating. This has brought him to the world of the amazing tool: the Steadicam. His training under the legendary Garrett Brown and Jerry Holway in Los Angeles has proven to be a turning point in his career.
A big believer in continuous learning and team playing, Joel is on a journey to achieving and providing the best images possible with the best minds around. Besides his dedicated craft as a Steadicam operator, he is currently also called on to cover positions ranging from 1st Unit Cam Operator to 2nd Unit DOP for feature films and television movies and Cinematographer for episodic dramas and documentaries.
Joel is a member of the Steadicam Operators Association.
