Photography was where I started, learning on my dad’s Canon A1 & from there I started to realise the power of images, especially moving images. I got a job with a London-based production company, learnt the ropes and started assisting and shooting on docs and current affairs for BBC, C4, CNN.

A couple of stints with agencies thereafter I went freelance, where I’ve been for the last 8 years. I love documentary for the storytelling & the long form, and commercial for the lighting, the studios & the crews.

My experience is varied - I’m comfortable shooting everything from large studio campaigns & beautifully-lit interviews to fast-paced documentary content.
