I’m a filmmaker and videographer from the UK, currently based in Spain, with experience across short films, music videos, weddings, film stills, photography and independent creative projects. My background covers both production and post-production, including camera operation, lighting, video editing, colour grading, photography editing, production planning and client communication. I have worked in roles such as cinematographer, camera/electrical department, second unit director, producer, editor and photographer, which has given me a strong understanding of how a project works from the first idea through to the final delivery. What differentiates me is that I approach video with both a technical and storytelling mindset. I care about framing, rhythm, pacing, tone, colour and the small details that make a piece feel polished and engaging. I am calm, reliable and easy to work with, and I enjoy helping people turn ideas into clear, visual and professional-looking content. I have experience in music videos, short films, event/wedding content, film stills and creative media, and I am especially interested in projects that combine strong visuals, atmosphere and storytelling. **Filmmaker & Photographer** Freelance / Worldwide *September 2012 - Present* Worked across short films, music videos, weddings, film stills, photography and independent productions.
