A Bit About Me

I am a passionate cinematographer and film maker with a deep love for discovering new stories and collaborating with people to bring ideas to life. My experience spans media, television, and film, working on projects ranging from documentaries and music videos to corporate films and short films. I’ve progressed through hands-on roles—from Assistant and Gaffer to Camera Operator and Director of Photography (DoP)—and now share my expertise as a Module Leader at Met Film School in London, teaching Cinematography for BA Filmmaking. Storytelling and connecting with others remain at the heart of everything I do.
