Originally from a northern council estate in Manchester, my earliest cultural influences were my brother and my grandad - from music, films and photography. This eventually led me to study a BA in Design and Art Direction at Manchester Metropolitan University.

​

After 19 years working across the UK and internationally, including Rwanda, Nigeria, Uganda, Morocco, France and Greece - as a camera assistant on feature films, TV drama, documentaries, live music events and commercials, I now work as a camera operator and 2nd unit DoP. Spending so much time on set has given me a strong understanding of both the technical and collaborative nature of filmmaking.

​

My background as an A-camera focus puller has given me a solid technical foundation and an instinctive understanding of storytelling through camera movement and emotion. I’m experienced in operating remote heads and love the freedom of handheld. I’m also now a Steadicam owner-operator, albeit in the early days.

​

I’m currently part of the NBCUniversal mentorship programme as a Future Cinematographer, continuing to learn from talented heads of department at the top of their field.

​

Alongside operating, I’m continuing to develop my cinematography through short films and collaborative projects, drawn to work that values nostalgia, depth and honest human stories.
