About me
Since my departure from University I have been working as a camera for hire alongside other part time money-earners. I am a driven, creative individual who thrives when given a challenge, having to get hands on with a project in order to capture a specific shot is a driving force in my endeavour to create new and exciting pieces of art. I interned in surf photography and film, it took me around the world following big wave surfers and their entourage. The experience taught me how to squeeze every ounce of energy I have and put it into my work. Sleeping very little and up at the crack of dawn to catch the swell we ran on fumes most of the time. The experience clocked me 70+ hours on RED EPIC cameras. More recently I took a leap into social issues, exploring communities around the Ukraine, documenting the refugee crisis in France and Greece as well as working on more commercial projects for organisations like the UK National Parks.

  • Last Drop - Short Film
    Last Drop - Short FilmRoger is a lost soul mourning the loss of his father and well on his way to becoming an alcoholic when a disembodied voice confronts him at his local pub. At first the voice angers and confuses him but later comes to reconcile with him in order to change his ways and move on with his life. At its heart it is the story of a father and son and how we deal with loss. Currently in the final stages of post production
