DIRECTOR - DOP - DRONE - EDITOR

It all starts with a good backstory...
So here’s mine:

With over 20 years of experience in production, I began my career directing prime time entertainment shows like The Apprentice and MasterChef, before moving into high profile documentaries for the BBC, Sky, Amazon, Channel 4, and Discovery.

I am the proud recipient of three Bafta nominations, a Royal Television Award and various other accolades in cinematography and production.

At my core, I love people. I find them fascinating. I love finding out what makes them tick. Be it someone facing life in jail or your Amazon delivery driver, everyone has a story to tell. 

Driven by this passion, I now work as a Director and DOP across branded content, corporate film and broadcast television, always looking for the next story to bring to life.

Relentlessly optimistic and easy to get along with, I think one of my strongest skills is making people feel at ease in front of the camera, a crucial first step to telling a great story.

A little bit about how I like to film:

As a Director and DOP, I’m equally at home self-shooting or leading a team of camera operators.

For larger productions, I can help assemble a team, drawing from a strong network of trusted camera ops, assists, sound and lighting crew. 

I’m also equally comfortable in smaller setups. Much of my documentary work is self-shot I’m the director, cameraman, sound operator, and often the shoulder to cry on.

Smaller teams allow us to gain access to extraordinary places and capture stories that feel intimate and deeply personal.
