About

I’m a London-based freelance videographer, photographer, and content creator with a background in broadcast journalism and creative production. I enjoy capturing natural, engaging visuals for businesses, independent brands, events, cultural organisations, and individuals—whether it’s a focused one-to-two-hour social shoot or full-day event coverage.

I can work confidently solo or with a small crew, handling filming, photography, interviews/vox pops, editing, and an organised handover. With my own professional kit and flexible availability across London and the UK, I deliver social-first content (including 9:16 vertical reels and short highlights) plus clean, professional camera and audio deliverables when needed.
