I am an experienced DV Director with a a passion for filming and storytelling. I have worked on a variety of Documentary, Sport and Enterainment based shows; including a Camera Assisting background in both Dramas and Commercials. I have experience both in larger multi-cam crews, alongside independant shooting. 

I am skilled in Operating a range of Broadcast cameras (Sony FS7, FX9, FX6 F5, A7S), alongside Ronin Gimbals,  both in following actuality and IV lighting set ups. In larger multi cam setups I am able to take direction clearly and precisley. In independant self shooting scenarios I am able to Direct and Produce contibutors, with emphasis on building the working relationship with the on screen talent to ensure getting the best from them. 

My past experience as a Camera Assistant allows me to take great pride in my handling and maintainence of kit, alongside set etiqutte. This goes alongside my professional on set attitude which allows me to work well with crew and contributors alike.

My credits to date have allowed me to travel and work in challenging environments around the world and I am excited to build on these in the near future, particularly within Factual and Obs-Doc projects.

I own a Sony FX6 kit and am happy to provide for appropriate jobs. I am based in Manchester, but also have bases in both Newcastle and at home in Belfast, both of which I am able to base at for any applicable shoots.

Feel free to get in touch and I look forward to hearing from you.
