Work Experience

Creative Video Lead at Seraphine
August 17, 2023 - June 19, 2025
As Seraphine's Video Strategist, I shaped a unified brand presence across national and international markets. Working with the Creative Director, I crafted captivating content for multiple platforms, and balanced brand consistency with platform optimisation.

Freelance role - head of camera department for an influencer shoot. My team were 6 strong.
Cinematographer at AWAL
December 1, 2025 - January 1, 2026
I was Cinematographer on California Rain, leading the visual approach for a studio-based music video with a full camera and lighting crew. The project required a clearly defined visual language, rooted in research and pre-production, and executed consistently across set, shoot, and post. Inspired by 1970s film photography, the look was developed through extensive testing of lenses, lighting treatments, and camera settings. To ensure creative alignment on set, I built a custom film emulation for monitoring, allowing the director and artists to respond to an image that closely reflected the final intent. The project reflects my approach to visual storytelling: considered preparation, respect for process, and collaboration — using craft and restraint to support mood and narrative rather than spectacle.
Cinematographer & Editor at Wanwan Resort, Thailand
February 8, 2023 - February 17, 2023
I produced a short promotional film for WanWan Resort in Thailand, working as a self-shooting cinematographer and editor. Shot independently on location, the project focused on capturing the atmosphere of the resort and the experience of staying there — from daily life and surroundings to the activities available to guests. The approach was observational and lightweight, allowing moments to unfold naturally while maintaining a cinematic, lifestyle-led aesthetic. Working alone meant adapting quickly to changing conditions and locations, while ensuring the final film felt cohesive and welcoming rather than staged. The result is a concise, experience-driven piece designed to reflect the pace, environment and character of the resort.

    paper Field Trip - New Balance Documentary

    I worked as a self-shooting director and cinematographer on a branded documentary for New Balance, filmed in the Atacama Desert. The project focused on endurance, environment, and human resilience, captured through an observational approach that prioritised authenticity over spectacle.
    Working independently on location, I was responsible for camera, sound, and visual storytelling, collaborating closely with the creative team to ensure the film respected both the landscape and the people within it. The shoot demanded a light footprint, adaptability, and sensitivity to place — shaping a visual language that felt immersive, honest, and grounded.
    The resulting film balances cinematic imagery with documentary restraint, allowing real moments, relationships, and environments to lead the narrative rather than imposed artifice.
