Based in Norwich, England, I've been passionate about filmmaking since 2021, capturing stories through both documentary and narrative lenses. I gained real-world experience by volunteering for local businesses while studying, which helped me develop a hands-on approach in the field. I was honored to be named Creative Media Student of the Year in 2022. My work spans short films, music videos, advertisements, and photography, giving me the opportunity to experiment with different storytelling styles. I'm skilled in various camera systems such as Sony, Canon, Blackmagic, Nikon, and Lumix, and proficient in post-production editing. For me, filmmaking is about crafting moments that truly resonate.
