A few words about me…
I am a filmmaker and photographer covering Bristol, London, and the South West with 10 years shooting experience. I have operated and lit a range of shoots including features, music videos, live events, corporate videos, documentary films, and promotional videos.
Passionate about filming I feel at home behind the camera and pride myself on bringing a positive attitude to set with me! With a long-standing love of film I have found cinematography is not only the blending of great compositions with beautiful lighting, but also creating an interior meaning which underpins the shot.
When collaborating with directors there’s nothing I enjoy more that bringing a story, a vision, to life through imagery.
