About me

I discovered my passion for film about 6 years ago, as a teenager. I then came to London to broaden my knowledge of the art of filmmaking and the industry itself. I came to study Film Studies so I could also begin to develop a skill set and a personal approach to film. Since university started I have tried to learn as much as possible and at the same time gain as much experience as I can. I have worked on some great sets as both a runner/talent liaison and 1st Assistant Camera (Arriflex SR3). On set, I watch, listen and ask, and take in as much as I can, I make a particular effort to use initiative, be efficient, as well as concentrate on keeping things running smooth. I have plenty of energy when I work, which probably comes mostly down to sheer enjoyment and enthusiasm. My main points of interest when working on a set are Direction of Photography and the overall visual element, so the camera team are who I try to draw a lot of information from, and often Art Directors and Lighting. I consider myself a perfectionist and like to think that I have a keen eye for the artistic side of things.
