I am an award-winning UK-based cinematographer with extensive experience across feature films, documentaries, branded content and high-end campaigns. My work blends a cinematic, story-led approach with practical production insight, delivering images that feel authentic, intimate and emotionally charged. I collaborate closely with directors, producers and agencies to shape lighting, camera language and post-production into a cohesive visual narrative. I work comfortably across controlled interview environments and fast-paced real-world shoots, taking on roles from DoP to editor and creative director. I have partnered with brands and institutions including Louis Vuitton, BBC, The Diana Awards and World Vision, and I also develop narrative and social impact projects. This adaptability lets me capture both scale and nuance, producing work that is cinematic, grounded and emotionally resonant.
