About me

I'm a Self-Shooting Director and Lighting Cameraman shooting docs, dramas, corporates, music videos and commercials.

As a Lighting Cameraman I enjoy the challenge and the craft of creating tone and atmosphere to suit the piece I'm working on. I recently had my first foray in to the world of 3D, shooting a music promo in stereoscopic. I have very good relations with camera hire companies, and grip/lighting studios and so have access to any and all kit.

As a Director I'm assertive and well prepared to handle any project. I'm happy to be a self shooter and work alone or with other operators also if required. With visual effects and graphics now a major component to many films, commercials and promos, I have a lot of experience of working with visual effects artists to incorporate many different elements into any production.

My latest short film as director was recently selected for the Encounters International Film Festival.
As well as my own works, I produced my first television programme for ITV titled "The Christmas Storybook" for their Christmas schedule.

Through experience, I also have gathered an extensive list of other crew contacts from sound recordists, gaffers, CG compositors, editors, 2nd camera crews and a broad age range of actors and presenters.
