Renard is a camera and steadicam operator based in Los Angeles. This South Florida-native began pursuing videography in high school by making highlight tapes for himself and multiple other teammates on the football squad. After suffering from injuries that ended his college football career, Renard turned back to camera work — a skill he had never lost and a passion that had never died. He now works with some of the most talented and noteworthy names in the hip-hop industry making quick movements and action scenes in music videos seem flawless. Beyoncé, Snoop Dogg, Travis Scott, Nas and Juice WRLD are just a few artists he has had the opportunity to create with.
