I was Born in the Seychelles and grew up in the UK. In my late teens I carried rucksacks for clients up mountains in Russia and Central Asia. I then went for a fine art degree and started making films, playing around with lights and cameras. Later I did post graduate drama at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire. I’ve worked on films for Adidas, Sony Playstation, the BBC, Channel 4, Netflix, IKEA, Canon, and the United Nations. I’m daddy to three kids! I work in English and French.
Je suis né aux Seychelles et j'ai grandi en Grande Bretagne. J’ai passé mon adolescence à porter des gros sacs à dos pour des clients dans les montagnes Russes et d'Asie centrale. Lors de mes études de Beaux-Arts je me suis tourné vers la réalisation de films. Puis j’ai passé du temps devant la caméra en tant qu’acteur avant de revenir à mes premiers amours ; manipuler la caméra, jouer avec la lumière pour créer une image. J’ai travaillé sur des films pour Adidas, Sony Playstation, la BBC, Channel 4, Netflix, IKEA, Barclays et les Nations Unis. Je suis papa de trois enfants ! Je travaille en Anglais et Français.
THREE WAYS OF WORKING TOGETHER
Freelance DOP
For production projects, I join established creative teams as a cinematographer, collaborating with directors and production companies to develop and execute the visual language of a film.
Director / DOP
For branded content, I work with agencies and creative teams from the initial idea through to the final film—bringing together creative direction, visual storytelling, and cinematography.
Stills Photography
I also work in stills, creating considered imagery for brands and editorial projects. I have a particular preference for analogue capture, drawn to its tactile quality and natural character.
