Director of Photography & Lighting Camera Operator | Cinematography for Brands, Agencies & Productions


As a highly experienced Director of Photography (DOP) and Lighting Camera Operator, I’ve collaborated with some of the world’s most recognisable brands including Burberry, Google, Amazon, LinkedIn, Meta, BMW, Charlotte Tilbury, Ted Talks, and Amnesty International. I specialise in delivering cinematic visuals across a wide variety of productions: commercials, branded content, corporate films, live events, documentaries, music videos, virtual production, studio shoots, and location filming.


Cinematography & Technical Expertise


Camera Systems


Experienced across professional cinema and broadcast systems including RED, ARRI, Canon, Sony, Blackmagic, Panasonic, and PTZ cameras, as well as vision mixing for live productions.


Lighting Design


From studio lighting to on-location setups, I design and execute lighting that enhances the narrative and emotion of every project. Using everything from classic tungsten and fluorescent fixtures to modern HMI and LED systems, I carefully shape light with bounce, negative fill, and diffusion to create powerful visual storytelling.


Post - Production & Software


Proficient in Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Photoshop, Lightroom, and Logic Pro, ensuring a seamless pipeline from production to post.


My Approach to Cinematography


For me, cinematography is always in service of the story. Every choice, from lens selection to lighting style, supports the concept, mood, and atmosphere the project aims to evoke. I believe in purposeful camera movement: the frame only shifts when it strengthens the narrative. Equally important is being professional, approachable, and collaborative on set. I bring a calm, creative, and solutions focused energy, whether working with a full crew on a large scale production or closely with directors and clients on smaller projects.
