I'm an experienced cinematographer and filmmaker with a passion for storytelling and crafting captivating visuals. Over a decade in the industry, I’ve worked across solo projects to large-scale productions, including broadcast camera operation, multi-camera setups, and dynamic on-location shoots. I thrive on turning ideas into engaging visuals that resonate with audiences. I thrive in dynamic environments—studio, location, or remote on a mountaintop—and I adapt quickly while collaborating with directors, editors, and clients to bring a story to life. I continually expand my skills, from color grading in Resolve to basic VFX in Fusion, and I’m an active member of the Australian Cinematographers Society, always looking for opportunities to learn and elevate the craft.
