About

Carving out a successful career as a Cinematographer, Director of Photography, Cameraman and Technician, I bring a life-long passion and connecting to moving images. Picking up my first camera at an early age, I started making shorts, which led into the completion of my BA (Hons) Film & Photography and subsequent Master of Fine Arts Advanced Film Practice & Cinematography. As someone who is naturally creative, artistically drive who also has the leadership and technical skills to run shoots, I confidently take concepts through to the final cut.

Working as a freelance contractor with agencies including the Gas2 Collective, Blue Iris Films, Screen Academy Scotland and Slippy Films, I have specialised in film shots, for advertising, promotion and for the film industry. I’ve worked on award-winning shorts providing the technical expertise behind the camera. In more recent years, I have led high-impact videography solutions as a Cinematographer, including shooting and producing a promotional video for a commercial client that secured their bid for a £200k+ budget increase. I’ve also co-produced and served as the Cinematographer for ‘Postcard from Scotland’, premiered at the Gothenburg International Film Festival.

Working collaborative with directors, including Istvan Borbas, Julian Schwanitz, Garry Hall, Scott Ward, Garry Torrence and Andrew O’Connor, I have travelled extensively to select locations, meet shoot and production schedules and consult on the pre-to-post production plan. Where challenged, I have met the brief and requirements of directors and producers.

Managing and working with post-production teams on editing, digital effects and styling, I have also produced and edited shorts, commercials and films for a range of client’s brands. I lead from concept to final cut, developing the enhanced, advanced communication style that inspires confidence in the crews I work with.

Technically skilled, I bring expertise Sony, Red and Arri Alexa set-ups, DSLR and Super 16mm Filming, capable of building custom rigs, dollies and sliders to capture the shot. From post-production, I bring full competency in Final Cut Pro (7, X), Avid Media Composer, Adobe Premiere, Adobe After Effects, Motion 5 and add-on capability with ProTools Sound solution. With a side-career as an electrician, I am comfortable with temporary installations.

Confident running the show, I believe I am the creative and technical Cinematographer and DoP for your project. Connect with me today and open a conversation to see how I will translate your vision to high-quality film.
