About me
I’m a London based photographer & cinematographer with a strong eye for storytelling. Having done a masters in cinematography at MET Film School from removed , I have built up and acquired a strong understanding of lighting for fictional narrative, as well as, finding frames and compositions that work best to visually tell story.I have accumulated a wide breath of technical knowledge having worked on a series of short fictional narrative films at school and outside of this, as a cinematographer, gaffer and spark. Lighting when used appropriately can be a powerful story telling technique.
I have excellent interpersonal skills when interacting with a variety of people, from directors to crew members, and can assemble, build and operate a variety of cameras and have a strong understanding of lenses and different focal lengths.
