I’m a camera operator, cinematographer and editor working across branded, documentary, music videos, fashion and lifestyle content. My work is rooted in real environments and real people, with a focus on creating cinematic visuals that feel authentic.
I’ve led visual production on international shoots and brand campaigns, working independently or with small crews, and collaborating closely with creative teams to shape tone, pacing and visual identity. This has included self-shooting documentary work in remote locations as well as more controlled studio productions, giving me a strong understanding of how to adapt visual language to different environments while staying true to a brand’s values.
I’m particularly drawn to projects that prioritise cultural sensitivity, sustainability and meaningful storytelling. I enjoy building long-term creative relationships and taking responsibility for how a brand is visually represented across platforms, from initial concept through to final delivery.

I was Director of Photography 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.
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.
