About

I’m an award-level video journalist and Director of Photography with over 20 years of international experience in broadcast television, documentaries, and commercial production. I specialize in visual storytelling, live broadcasting, and high-end cinematography, delivering compelling narratives under tight deadlines and in challenging environments.

My career has taken me across Europe, North America, and Africa, collaborating with major networks and production teams. I’m comfortable in remote and high-risk locations, and I thrive on transforming complex topics into clear, cinematic stories through thoughtful lighting, shot composition, and on-the-ground storytelling.
