I started my career working for the BBC in London. I spent most of my time working on various events helping to create films and documentaries that went out as part of a broadcast. After working for the BBC for a few years, I decided that my real passion lay with shooting and decided to make a move to being a freelance Cinematographer. Having made the switch I've continued to work on programmes with the BBC as well as branching out to work on range of other projects including commercials, short films, music videos and documentaries.

Hi there, I have always liked documentaries but only the ones that show the audience something they haven't seen or thought of. That is what I specialise in. I made a documentary about Tunisia, post-revolution called "Tunisia - What Next?". I also made a short video of the Behind the Scenes of the 2013 UEFA Champions League Final which included Stephen Sutton, an 18 year old diagnosed with terminal cancer. Performing at Wembley was an item on his bucket list. I'm currently looking for more stories to tell the rest of the world.
