Hello!

I am a self shooting producer, director and DOP, based in London but very happy to drive myself anywhere. 

My work includes branded film content, interviews and longer form documentaries as well as commercials for multiple brands and magazines. As a leader on set I have been in charge of large film crews and talent but I always keep in mind the small details and am conscientious about making sure everyone feels at ease during filming, especially when navigating sensitive interview subjects. Experienced in directing larger crews, multi cam and single camera projects.

Visual storytelling is key to my work, which I shoot largely on my Sony FX9, as well as on my Mavic Air 2 drone. I also own a Canon R5C and prime kit so am well versed with both Sony and Canon systems. I own my own LED lighting kit and plenty of grip which I am happy to provide on shoots.

My background in commercial content demonstrates keeping to fixed storyboards and strict shot plans, whilst the longer editorial and factual work shows how to frame and deliver impactful personal stories which can be shot in a more organic way. I have a strong background in stills photography so am able to add this in on shoots when needed too.

Taking most projects I work on from inception to launch, I am incredibly experienced with and love to get involved in all facets of production; whether that be locations, logistics, crew, talent or the edit. I have edited all the projects here so always bear post production firmly in mind when shooting. Being a diligent, useful and dedicated member of the team is of the utmost importance to me.

All work can be seen on my personal website,
