DoP // CAMERA // EDIT

I deliver high-impact visuals across documentaries, live news and digital videos, including branded content and social-native vertical video. I’ve filmed videos with 1M+ views on YouTube, Instagram and TikTok, and bridge the gap between traditional broadcast standards and digital-first delivery.

I bring technical precision, editorial judgement and a creative eye to every project. Because I regularly cut my own work, I shoot with the final edit in mind. And I’m always pushing the boundaries of my craft, whether that’s learning new skills or making use of cutting edge equipment.

I’ve worked across Europe, the US, Middle East and Asia, and can supply equipment scaled to your production’s needs, whether that’s a DSLR in a backpack or a cinematic multi-camera shoot.

Live News

I’ve contributed live hits for rolling news, digital and broadcast packages, and social-native reporting for both the CBC and CNBC International. As a shooter and editor, I bring versatility and resourcefulness to stories on a wide range of topics.

Documentary

I’ve filmed documentaries broadcast on the BBC, Channel 5 and CNBC as well as YouTube-first content. My work has included both leading a team of camera operators and sound recordists, as well as being a self-shooting producer/director, and has spanned travel, tech, sport, and even high-speed police car chases.

Branded Content

​I bring 10 years of experience as the primary creative decision-maker behind the camera to deliver engaging videos for brands including tech unicorns, global consultancies and Big Four firms. My technical skills honed in high-pressure situations elevate the visuals and reflect in clients’ margins.

What I deliver:

-Fast-turnaround shoot/edit assignments
-Beautifully framed PTCs and live standups

-Compact setups that punch above their weight
-Creative mini-docs and news packages

-Thought-through multi-platform delivery
-Drone filming

-Smooth international filming logistics
