ABOUT

I am an international freelance Filmmaker / Cinematographer working predominantly on Independent features, Short films and Music videos. I am passionate with a strong work ethic and I revel in the collaborative filmmaking process. I am completely open to creative choices and challenges whilst still having my own strong vision.

I own a 5k RED Dragon camera with Samyang mk2 cine primes.
In 2016 my first feature film attained a worldwide distribution deal. It reached #7 in the UK DVD sales chart.

I have shot a number of low budget feature films, having the bare minimum of crew, equipment and resources. I worked to raise the production values using frugal methods and cheap cinematic tricks to get a great image that serves the story.
My mantra is to build on the foundations of effective storytelling to create a product that is greater than the sum of it’s parts.

I am experienced, using a number of different cameras. Predominantly; RED, Sony and Canon.
