Residing on the west coast but always following the next adventure, moving cameras with speed is the name of the game. Russian arm, camera car, drone - you name it, Keaton straps a camera to it with a unique crew of young cinematographers. If the tool he needs isn’t around, he will make it, regardless of the complexity. Come join him in paradise, or as most know it, Lake Tahoe, for a backcountry powder day or go for a summertime boar cruise. Always push forward and always have fun.
