I am a young camera and lighting professional specialising in independent narrative work. I play many roles depending on the project, from DP to Gaffer and AC.

Outside of work I can be found making my own shorts through Brass Button Films, playing rugby for my local team and, recently, taking photos.

I graduated from the University of Surrey in 2022 with a 1st class degree from what is now known as the Film Production and Broadcast Engineering BSc course. I went freelance in August 2021.
