· As a highly motivated and aspiring graduate of Broadcasting with a keen interest in cinematography, documentaries and surfing, I am avidly looking to develop my portfolio that will give me a diverse foundation on which to build my career.
· I am now a freelance film maker, cameraman and D.P who likes to take on work that tackles social issues that inform and challenge audiences in a visual and accessible way.
· Competent in many areas of software and digital camera formats, I am quick and eager to learn, making me adaptable and intuitive. This is reflected throughout my work which has been a huge success both academically and independently.

INTERESTS
I strongly advocate the power and impact that television can have, and make it my mission to use this responsibly to inform as well as entertain audiences. Documentaries will always be at the heart of this, and I believe that the most interesting and powerful stories are those that go unnoticed around us. I want to make documentaries that follow the real lives of real people in an unobtrusive and personal way, that also retain the beauty of cinematic story telling.
