Drama DoP : London and Bristol
With work on platforms such as Netflix, Amazon, Nat Geo, Disney Plus and BBC iPlayer, I have numerous credits as Director of Photography and as camera operator. As an owner/operator of a Steadicam rig, I operate on dramas, commercials and music videos for other DoPs. Discovering a passion for cinematography led me into a long and successful career on documentaries, with a love of drama work inspiring me to polish my operating skills and to shoot scripted content whenever possible.
