I saw a film when I was younger and I’ve wanted to make one ever since*.

Who’s this?
I am a cinematographer and lighting camera operator, based in Bristol, UK. I’m deeply excited by gripping scripts, stellar acting, bold directing, and the buzz of melding minds creatively with talented and unusual people.
I have well over a decade of experience shooting films in the worlds of narrative, theatre, art film, documentary, and I’ve shot more interviews with B-roll than you can shake a boom pole at.
I'm particularly interested in narrative storytelling and actively looking for indie features and shorts. I enjoy focusing on pre-production and developing excellent communication with my collaborators to make films with strong intention and depth. I like the weird stuff and the how-the-hell-are-we-going-to-make-this stuff.
My ‘style’ is fundamentally fluid, fitting the form of the script or production, but if I had to define it I would say I skew towards naturalism
I am a Cinematographer because I love telling stories and making films, to me they are the ultimate art form, and a perfect way to explore the inner wonders of each other's minds.

*I mean, it’s true.. the film was Brick, starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and I had tuned in to film4 one day on the telly.
90 minutes later I had one of those daft realisations that not only did films not just appear out of thin air, but that I was pretty sure I wanted to learn how to make them.
I’m still learning, of course..
