DOP. CAMERA AND DRONE OPERATOR. EDITOR
Shooting documentaries for over 10 years, I have a passion for telling impactful stories in cinematic and captivating ways, often working within sensitive topics.
I have been part of both small and large productions where I have directed and shot as a solo operator, right through to being part of a larger production team as a DOP.
I’m an expert on shooting with RED systems, as well as capturing expertly crafted drone sequences in both urban and remote environments.
No matter if working on small-scale projects in the UK, or larger pieces abroad, I take pride in delivering impactful visuals that exceed expectations.
