Embedded Files
London-based Director of Photography, available worldwide. I have a background shooting narrative films, commercials, corporate projects, and music videos. Alongside my camera work, I have extensive experience in the lighting department, working as a gaffer and spark on a wide range of short films, feature films, and commercials. Behind the lens, I combine this technical knowledge of light with clean composition and straightforward visual storytelling.
