About me

I have over 10 years experience working on a variety of top end productions, learning a lot from them whilst contributing a professional and hard working attitude. I have been able to work strongly within all departments of the camera department, enhancing my skills as a camera assistant, operator, lighting assistant and grip assistant. Gaining the ability to work with all
of the current top end professional video cameras. Also being able to assist in a variety of studio environments and exterior locations, that utilise a vast range of professional lighting and grip equipment, all to a safe industry standard. In both England, New Zealand & Australia.

In the most recent few years of my career, I have been the dedicated videographer for a video and design agency, Tailwind Group, based in London. Working with clients such as Philips, TESCO, Arcadia Clothing, Pringles, Imagine Crusing, F1, Bupa Health, Nike and Surrey University.
They have been a fantastic company to work for, allowing me to expand my skill set of video production with corporate clients through all stages of the work-flow. Develop and create a varied range of projects and at all times pushing the boundaries of video content.

In the last 3-4 years I have been focusing more of my energy on editing with the adobe creative cloud software package, developing a greater knowledge with programmes such as, Premier Pro, After Effect, Illustrator, Audtion and even Davinci Resolve. I am really glad I have delved deeper into the field of editing as it has allowed me to have a greater understanding of the story telling process whilst on production and also allowing me to greater understand my limitations as a videographer whilst shooting or even during the pre production stage. It is a great feeling to finally see the images of a production come together in the edit stage.

The media industry has not only allowed me to fulfil my ambitions, but also provided me a broad range of skills that I find useful to apply to any situation; good time keeping ability on set and being able to orchestrate the right amount of shots and angles in the time scale given for each production, adapting to any situation and being able to problem solve in a calm and
efficient manner and my dedication to my work being not only my profession but also my passion drives me to always have a high attention to detail and a strong work ethic in my field.
