A completely self taught visual artist, specialising in photography and moving image. Christopher has developed the skills to hunt out a story, make contact, gain access and win people over worldwide. He lived in a Colombian community of drug addict rubbish recyclers, spending every day of a year getting closer to my subjects and gaining deeper access to the story. In the UK I infiltrated the Northern football hooligan gang, Burnley Suicide Squad and was accepted into an exclusive dangerous community being granted permission to film and access their private and often illegal antics. I seek to push boundaries and will do whatever it takes to bring a story to life and express the intimate yet sometimes sordid realities of life. Last year I created http://www.poisonflower.tv my first 60min feature documentary, currently on the film festival circuit. I infiltrated & lived for a year with a gang of homeless heroin addicts.

I am a director, DOP and producer with a wealth of experience across global advertising campaigns, TV and documentaries. My shooting and lighting skills are exceptional and I thrive on capturing beautifully-lit interviews and cinematic b-roll. I happily oversee all aspects of production – from creating an idea and presenting it in a pitch-winning treatment – to casting, budgeting and scheduling, managing a wider team – or shooting the project independently. As a former journalist, I have a good nose for a story and have developed original documentary ideas from scratch. Crafting a great story is essential, so I always keep a tight grasp on editorial and an eye on emerging stories to gain accurate insight into contributors’ emotions. I have negotiated difficult access, worked in hostile environments, and directed some of the world’s most famous A-List stars. Results-driven, communication is always my number one priority to ensure that every project exceeds my clients' expectations.

I have produced over 50 music videos for South Africa's top artists which have millions of views on Youtube and currently circulating on MTV Base. Recently I produced an insert for America's Got Talent for the Ndlovu Youth choir and I have produced corporate videos for over 10 years. I am passionate about cinematic storytelling. For as long as I could remember, I have always loved to entertain. Storytelling is where it all began, it was how our forefathers would pass knowledge down from one generation to the next. It is something I am passionate about. I have been helping people to tell their stories now for over 10 years after I completed my BA degree. I have also been lucky enough to not only gain experience in all aspects of this industry but to also find the magic in each discipline. I believe this gives me a unique outlook on producing videos, as I experienced in Pre-production, Directing, Filming and Editing. So when I am doing the pre-production treatment I am already visualizing the shots and even piecing together the edit in my head, right from the onset. Unlike traditionally in our industry where the technology was slower and an Editor was just an Editor. Over the years I have produced music videos, marketing videos, TVC's, training videos, event teasers, animations and punchy social media stings and mini-documentaries. I know and understand how important it is to produce high-quality social media videos quickly. Having an understanding and ability to deliver all aspects of production gives me a competitive edge over single disciplined colleagues in the industry. Because if you have filmed or directed a project then you can hit the ground running as the editor, without having to brief an editor in. Having said all this, at the end of the day as a creative, I do not think we need to say much, anyone can talk the talk. So let me put my money where my mouth is, here is my showreel; https://vimeo.com/358499761

Hello and welcome! I am a British DP/Videographer currently based in the UK with experience shooting internationally. From 2015 I had been living, working and thriving in the Film/TV/Media industry in Shanghai, China. Over the subsequent 7 years I developed my career as a professional Director of Photography, with the majority of my experience focusing on (but not limited to) documentary filmmaking and commercials - specifically beauty, cosmetics and product advertising niches. I like to think my experience perfectly marries the aspects of shooting on location and telling a story using minimal resources with the technical aspects of managing, lighting and shooting in a studio with cinema-grade equipment. Having worked predominantly in production houses and creative agencies, I have been able to expand my skillset and work on other areas of projects where needed - both in pre and post-production. As such, I have worked as in-house editor and colourist for the other half of time I am not shooting, as well as developed production decks with creative teams, consulted for graphic design teams when storyboarding, used 3D software to mock up and pre-vis scenes, communicated with online post-production vendors and am clear and confident when speaking with clients and visiting executives in a directorial role.
