I’m a filmmaker, photographer and all-rounder explorer & lover of life. Passionate about faces, places and the stories they hold, my mantra is to put the narrative back into the hands of the people who are seldom given a voice.

I work in: documentary, factual entertainment & development
Available for local/international commissions.
London based.
