My Creative Journey | Director of Photography | Photographer | Visual Artist
My creative journey started when I was just five years old, sitting cross-legged on the floor of my school hall, listening to classical music that unexpectedly brought me to tears. I didn’t know why at the time, only that sound and image had the power to move me in ways I couldn’t explain. From that moment, I knew creativity was at the core of who I am, and ever since, I’ve been driven by a need to capture and create work that explores the human condition.
From Music & Sound Design to Visual Storytelling
After leaving school, I immersed myself in the electronic music scene, inspired by artists like Aphex Twin. I built my own studio, producing and releasing tracks in the Drum & Bass scene on respected labels such as Renegade Recordings, Underfire Recordings, and Audio Blueprint. While the music industry shaped my creative instincts, I felt a pull to explore new territories. That exploration led me to study Fine Art (BA hons) at Central Saint Martins, specialising in Moving Image. A pivotal lecture on David Lynch revealed how cinematography and camera movement could evoke emotion in the same way sound and music had once moved me as a child. From that moment, I committed to pursuing film and cinematography.
Cinematography & Fine Art Training
Graduating from Central Saint Martins, I began working in production, developing my craft as a Director of Photography (DOP). Each project became an opportunity to experiment with light, movement, and story, building a strong technical and creative foundation. To push my vision further, I undertook an MFA in Fine Art at Goldsmiths University London (MFA), again focusing on Moving Image. This period sharpened my conceptual thinking, allowing me to merge artistic exploration with commercial cinematography. Since then, I’ve built an extensive career as a DOP, Lighting Camera Operator, and Video Editor, collaborating with leading global brands, agencies, and production companies.
Expanding into Music, Sound & Visual Art
In 2015, experiencing Jon Hopkins (electronic music producer) live reignited my love for sound. Alongside my cinematography career, I compose cinematic soundscapes designed to transport listeners into immersive worlds, fusing sound and image into multi-sensory storytelling. Like David Lynch, I believe in working across mediums, whether film, music, photography, or visual design, to let the idea dictate the form. This freedom allows me to bring a fresh, multidimensional approach to every project, whether it’s a commercial campaign, branded content, documentary, or artistic collaboration.
Photography & Visual Practice
Alongside film and music, I maintain an ongoing photographic practice, exploring abstraction, light, and form. My images are often minimal, mysterious, and atmospheric, compositions that resist linear interpretation, instead inviting viewers into unresolved stories and internal landscapes.
