Explore an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at my work as a UK-based Director of Photography. This curated collection offers a visual insight into the real craft of cinematography — beyond the final frame. From handheld documentary shoots to controlled studio environments, every setup tells its own story.
Whether shooting a commercial, branded short, primetime documentary or independent film, my work starts long before the camera rolls. It begins with collaboration — with directors, producers, gaffers and operators — to design a visual language that enhances the emotional weight of the story.
On this page, you’ll see:
- Location recces and camera prep
- Real-time lighting adjustments using natural and practical sources
- Camera rig setups from Sony FX6, FX9 and Alexa Mini builds
- Crew interaction, framing tests, and video village moments
- Snapshots from productions shot across Manchester, Newcastle, Leeds and London
Many of these productions have aired on platforms like BBC, Netflix UK, and Channel 4, and several have gone on to win awards for their visual storytelling.
These images capture the unseen effort — the energy, intention and split-second decisions that happen on set. They also show the balance between technical control and creative spontaneity that defines great cinematography.
I strive to blend authenticity with style, telling stories in a way that feels both cinematic and honest. Whether I’m shooting with a skeleton crew or on a multi-cam broadcast setup, I aim to be agile, intuitive, and deeply collaborative.
