Award-winning Director of Photography specializing in commercials, branded content, drama and documentary. My journey began in live performance, evolving into creating visuals for major artists including Take That, Little Mix, Cheryl Cole, Shawn Mendes, and John Legend, as well as prestigious events like the Rugby World Cup opening ceremony and Ferrari's 70th anniversary celebration.
Commercial work spans global brands including Lego, Levi's, American Express, and The Trainline. Notable achievements include a Silver Clio Award for Cinematography on the Malaria No More campaign. My documentary portfolio features "Getting Away with Murder(s)" (The Guardian's top-rated documentary of 2021), alongside directing "The Price of Love," nominated for the 2015 Liberty Human Rights Award.
Across studio environments and location shoots, I bring versatility in both natural and technical lighting approaches, adapting to each project's unique visual demands.
