  • A&E Special on Hulk Hogan

    I am currently the Director of Photography for an A&E special on Hulk Hogan. For the past month, we have been shooting in Tampa and Orlando and, most recently, here in Los Angeles. Our final shoot is coming up on March 8th in Orlando when Hulk Hogan will return to the ring for the first time in 15 years.

    Hulk Hogan is an icon and when he walks into a room, you feel his presence. But he is very down-to-earth, gracious, humble and friendly. He has given us complete access to his life. The show will likely broadcast sometime in June and it will be an eye-opener.

    We have been shooting with a Panasonic Varicam, a RED One camera, and a Canon 7D with a small arsenal of lenses.
