I originally come from an Art and Design background having studied a BTEC National Diploma in Art and Design at the London College of Printing. The course steered me into many different directions as a Photographer and a Visual Artist/Film Maker. This led to several vocations within the Arts and Multi Media industries and also to me running my own production company and developing projects through it.

In September 2003 I moved to Manchester to study BA (Hons) Contemporary Film and Video. I chose this course, as it would enable me to gain new skills and develop work within Moving Image and Design. The course allowed me to work independently as well as collaboratively. Whilst studying I was able to establish myself in many different creative disciplines and helped me develop an interest in Cinematography, Photography, Graphic Design, 3D Animation, Motion Graphics and Audio/Visual based work. I also gained experience as a Producer and most notably as a Director of Photography and Director. The course was a great experience helping me to acquire key skills and develop new ideas and different ways of working. I would like the opportunity to work in Moving Image whether making Films, Documentaries, Commercials, Idents, Animations, Music Videos, Visuals or working in Motion Graphics.

I work mainly as a Director, Director of Photgraphy and Visual Artist, but also have alot of experience in other areas. Have worked and trained in the industry for 7 seven years. I have had work shown in several film festivals and was featured in Sreen Writers by American author Christian Hamlett.

My main skill is I have a very strong visual eye with real attention to detail and create a very unique visual aesthetic.

Very strong knowledge and technical ability with various HD/DV Cameras.
