I am a director of photography, based in London.

My feature and broadcast credits include Sky, Showtime, ABC, BBC, Channel 5 and the Netflix Originals documentary, How To Rob A Bank, which reached the Netflix Global Top 10.

My fiction work has screened at Encounters, Underwire, Manchester, London Short Film Festival, on Channel 4 Random Acts and Omeletto. Most recently, the short film Chimera screened at BFI London Film Festival 2025.

I shoot a wide range of projects and work hard to find the right approach and visual style for each, building on deep prep.

I feel strongly that part of the job is to help make every shoot a fun, collaborative process, no matter what comes up along the way. I aim to bring a dedicated, calm, friendly presence.

Before cinematography, I worked for many years as a stills photographer in portraiture and as an NUJ press card accredited photojournalist.

I learnt about framing and telling a story whilst keeping up with politicians and protests around central London. Moving into cinematography, I was one of eight selected for the 2016 BSC Emerging Cinematographers Screening.

In 2021, the documentary feature In The Cold Dark Night (for which I shot the drama recons) premiered at the Atlanta Film Festival and was nominated for a Documentary Emmy. Work has now taken me across the UK, Europe, the US and Mexico. I am a BAFTA Connect member since 2022.
