With over 40,000 hours on set (and an unquantifiable amount of coffee), I’ve built a reputation as a camera operator trusted by leading producers, directors, actors, and crews. I’m known for being calm, professional, collaborative—and relentlessly positive. Even at the end of a punishing shoot, I turn up with the same focus, energy, and enthusiasm I brought on day one.

My work has taken me across the UK and around the world, operating in some of the most demanding environments imaginable, from the frozen extremes of the Canadian Arctic at –40°C to the heat and humidity of African jungles at +40°C, as well as deserts and dense urban landscapes. These conditions have shaped me into a resilient, adaptable operator who delivers consistently, no matter the challenge.

Beyond camera work, I bring a strong physical and movement-based understanding to set. I’m a highly qualified martial artist (6th Dan Kendo, Musokan Dojo), as well as a wellbeing and fitness instructor. Also as the in-house videographer for Dexterity
Dance & Gymnastics I have extensive experience filming dance, gymnastics, and martial arts—capturing precision, rhythm, and athletic movement with clarity and impact.

I take pride not only in the images I create, but in the energy and team spirit I bring to every production—day or night, sunshine or rain.
