Work Experience

Cinematographer, Editor and Colourist at Freelance
January 22, 2026 - Present
I assisted and worked closely to various directors, producers and clients on a breadth of productions. This was in mainly Cinematographer, Editor or Colour Grading roles. Over these 2 years, I have developed my craft and technical skills, especially in effects and colour grading, as well as develop a network of collaborators in various aspects of filmmaking, making lasting creative partnerships along the way. My proudest moment so far, is acting as Cinematographer on a short film funded by Leeds City Council, Historic England, Arts Council England and East Street Arts, as part of their Hidden Briggate series in 2023. I focused heavily on heralding queer, northern or otherwise unheard voices in our local area, always striving to make a difference and give the marginalised a voice, through the power of filmmaking.

Education

Ba(Hons) Filmmaking at Leeds Arts University
September 14, 2020 - July 10, 2023
Grade: 2:1 Between 2020 and 2023, I undertook an Undergraduate Degree in Filmmaking at Leeds Arts University. This gave me a breadth of knowledge in all aspects of film production; cinematography, editing, colour, lighting, sound, grip, and producing. I used these skills to focus heavily on cinematography in my third year, working on 4 projects across my year group, as well as my own personal documentary. I then used this variety of skills to assist me in becoming a freelance cinematographer, editor and colourist.

    paper The Black Ribbon

    The Black Ribbon was created as part of A Night at the Plaza, a cabaret show exploring the queer history of Leeds’ first adult cinema. The night was curated by the ever-lovely Harry Clayton-Wright and took place at the Howard Assembly Room, formerly this notorious cinema.

    In early conversations about the project, Vee suggested doing a 70s porno-inspired adaptation of The Green Ribbon. This urban legend tells the story of a woman who always wears a ribbon around her neck and refuses to take it off — not even for her husband. A few years into their marriage, frustrated by the mystery, he yanks it off…

    My role on this project was as Cinematographer and trailer editor, which focussed on developing my close working relationship with the director, Edie Barnabas, to create the lighting and camerawork that emulated the seedy 1980s style that we wanted from the film.
