About me
I am a director, cinematographer and photographer from London predominantly working in the worlds of documentary, music and branded content, with a focus on human-led, authentic storytelling. I am twice shortlisted (2020 and 2022) and one time winner of the Portrait of Humanity. I have a limited edition book for sale - Portrait A Day 2021 - which followed on from my year-long project of capturing a portrait and a story every day of the year in 2021.
