Skyler is a photographer and filmmaker with a focus on documentary storytelling and portraiture. Born and raised in a small town in Northern California, Skyler developed a deep appreciation for the arts from an early age, influenced by his father, a painter and gallery owner.
He carries a personable and comforting presence that immediately puts subjects at ease. With a keen eye for detail and a genuine passion for storytelling, he effortlessly transitions between a quiet "fly-on-the-wall" presence, capturing precious moments candidly and without influence, to a more extroverted energy that skillfully evokes emotions and draws out the essence of each narrative. His approach to photography and filmmaking is authentic and true, reflecting a deep respect for the human experience and an unwavering commitment to portraying it in its most genuine form.
With a love for writing and voiceover narration, he brings a unique perspective to his films, creating visually captivating stories that resonate deeply with audiences. His commitment to capturing authentic moments and genuine emotions is reflected in his work.
Skyler recently ventured into the world of tintype photography, opening a studio in collaboration with a friend. This venture explores a 150 year old photographic process. www.magnitude8studio@gmail.com
