FILMMAKER / PHOTOGRAPHER
As a visually-focused artist, I believe there's a story in every image, and it's in the finding (or rather, creating) that story which brings me to pick up my camera once more, whether that's for moving image or stills alike.
My experiences are diverse, ranging from broadcast television directing and camera operating, assisting in the camera department for high-end commercial & music promo, unit stills/behind-the-scenes to producing and editing video content for various social media campaigns for businesses and broadcasters.

DIRECTOR, CAMERA OPERATOR, EDITOR
Video production has been my bread and butter for the past 10 years. In working across concept development, production and in the edit, I now have a broad understanding of the production process and have built my strengths around the directing, cinematography and post-production elements of filmmaking.
My experiences range from self-shooting and directing for broadcast in factual entertainment [The Rap Game UK, BBC], children’s [Style It Out, CBBC] and reality television [Drama Queens, ITV] to working in the camera department on TVCs [Pepsi], high-end music productions [Jorja Smith] and director of photography on short film productions screening at BFI recognised film festivals.
PHOTOGRAPHER
Becoming a filmmaker was always the goal. But through that journey, stumbling into the art of photography really changed my life. Taking stills allows me slow things down and capture a specific moment in time that will never come again, but will now never be forgotten.
There is something special about immortalising memories that drives me to take photos, continually improving my composition and lighting knowledge, going hand in hand with cinematography to become the best visual artist I can be.
These skills have allowed me to be versatile from documenting live events and behind-the-scenes of productions to portraiture and editorial photography, having my photographic works published in press media by the likes of BAFTA, NME, ITV and the BBC to name a few.
