About me

I'm a freelance lighting camera operator and Final Cut Pro editor based in London. I own a Red Scarlet X, 5D Mark II kit and Macbook Pro edit suite with Final Cut Studio.

As a camera operator and director of photography I have worked across numerous camera systems including DSLR, broadcast and cinema production equipment. With extensive knowledge in Tungsten, HMI, LED and Kino Flo lighting equipment, I pride myself on my ability to confidently light a variety of challenging locations.

I am an accomplished Final Cut Pro editor. I have experience encoding content for a wide range of media including online, broadcast and digital cinema projection.

A recent seven-year contract at Weta Workshop in New Zealand has seen me work alongside some of the film industry's most talented creatives. Committed to excelling technically and creatively, I have developed a respected working style that I bring to all projects I work on.

I'm currently available for any camera operating, editing and DP work in the UK and abroad.
