About me...
I am a camera operator with over 6 years experience in producing factual corporate docs, branded content, short films and web series for a variety of clients. For TV I have shot for BBC, Channel 4, ITV and Sky TV. I’m a trained Movi operator with experience using them for TV, films and online content.
As a videographer I have shot corporate shorts for the likes of Fresh Cut Media, ESPN, Executive TV, Rocket Pictures, The Refinery.TV and the Gynaecological Cancer Fund.
As a cinematographer I have shot short films for Crossroads Pictures, Pimlico Films, Maktub Films, and my own productions under the guise of Metal Heavy Productions.
For Slick Showreels I work as a Director/DoP, shooting bespoke showreels for actors. I was part of the team on the Oscar winning short 'The Silent Child'. For them and independently I shoot head-shots - check out the photography page.
I am also an accomplished and experienced Camera Assistant, with TV and feature film credits.
