Hello, I am an Australian cinematographer, based in London UK. I have worked in the film industry well over a decade now, starting as a camera technician (when we shot on film!). I have been shooting films, documentaries, drama and advertising for several years now. My recent work was on UK TV drama "Homework" as DOP for series 6&7, for the Krill campaign for the SumofUs action group as well as loads of advertising as part of Almond Tree Productions. I began in art department and enjoy shooting in an intimate way where the camera is guest in a scene - especially in my documentary work. I pride myself on getting my subjects to relax and forget the camera is there allowing the viewer to connect with the interviewee. I am a lighting DOP for drama work -yet my style is either surreal or as natural as can be. I love my work and will shoot from dawn to dusk if allowed.

I work across a range of projects for broadcast, cinema and the web, creating films for Channel 4, Al Jazeera, BBC, The Guardian and more. I began my career focusing on stylistic and conceptual story telling to then move into observational documentary work, combining an acute understanding of the real (but not so obvious) moments that connect the viewer to the subject with a rare visual style to provoke a moving and cinematic experience, continuing to evolve my own brand of cinematic realism. I am keen to tell stories that challenge our preconceived opinions, films that nourish our curiosities and touch our hearts, always striving to inspire positive social impact and change through better understanding, human connection and ultimate respect for the endless wonders of life.
