About

This is me, in front of the camera for a change.

I'm usually pretty easy to spot - the one with the camera(s) lurking in a corner - but it helps to put a face to the name.

Before photography, I spent years planning national TV campaigns: production schedules, shifting delivery dates, the realities of broadcasting. I helped shows find their audience, balancing creative decisions with commercial ones. That experience shapes how I work now.

I've always been drawn to how films and programmes are made - the choices, the inventiveness, the teamwork. Being on set and taking it all in is a privilege. The same goes for events, or backstage with photographers at work; I shoot for the people who want to know how it all happens.

But the work isn't about me - it's about supporting your production, event or brief - from the first look to the company archive.

Recent assignments include stills for a Channel 5 documentary and a crew wrap shoot for a returning Sky/Starz drama.

I'm based in Sevenoaks and work across London and the South East - but am very open to travel. Really. Very open. Just ask.

For on-set bookings, dates and availability, get in touch.
