BIO

Array
(
    [0] => I've worked on countless productions including documentary, live event, news, TVC's, short film, feature film, reality, sport, music, magazine and corporate. I'm familiar with most digital formats including RED, 5DmkII, 7D, DVCAM, Beta, P2, EXCAM. I've also directed, edited and photographed many productions and experienced in Avid, Final Cut, photoshop and live switching. 

My main strength lies in capturing strong, emotive and memorable imagery. I have an eye for detail and the experience to know how to best capture the subject/emotion/story.  Light, composition and movement are my favourite tools to evoke emotion and feeling. Having shot live events and documentaries where there's no second takes, you can also count on me to have a cool head and the ability to work efficiently to capture the money shot after shot. 

I excel at understanding and bringing to life a director’s vision.  However, having directed and edited many productions I'm ably qualified to shoot and tell a story without supervision if required. 

People describe me as being passionate about what I do, dedicated to the vision, work well under pressure, having an eye for detail, goes the extra mile and great fun to work with. 

Living the dream is working with passionate people who are committed to producing great positive content. There's an amazing sense of achievement and satisfaction that comes from being a part of a passionate team who know their craft well. 

I would love to help you out with your next production even if you just need some free advice.
