On stage. Behind the scenes.
The Thorn
The Thorn brings the story of God’s love for humanity to the stage through music, drama, dance, aerial performance, and striking visual effects.
Since August 2023, I’ve captured the show on and off stage—shooting and editing ads, trailers, and promos, and helping shape The Thorn’s social media presence and visual identity. I shoot and create nearly all of the videos shared on The Thorn’s social channels.
