British cinematographer with over 15 years experience shooting features, commercial, music, documentary and narrative shorts.

 

Clients include Bacardi, John Lewis, BBC, LEGO, Telegraph, Co-op, NHS, and Decca Records. I shot Irvine Welsh documentary feature Reality Is Not Enough for LS Productions about the renowned Scottish author of Trainspotting, selected as closing gala film at EIFF. I shot BAFTA New Talent nominated Last Exit To Ricklesburgh and BBC TV broadcast Marram. Latest shorts are ASKA starring Kate Dickie, Maturity starring Joshua Haynes and King of the Iron Will starring Liam J Collins.

​

I was lucky enough to work closely with Danny Boyle and Anthony Dod Mantle (ASC) as Splinter Unit Camera Operator and Main Unit Drone Camera Operator for 28 Years Later. I was asked back for the sequel The Bone Temple, and had the privilege of working with Sean Bobbitt (BSC) and Nia DaCosta. Other feature operating credits include Sky's Dead Shot starring Felicity Jones, Zebra Girl, Night Kaleidoscope and The Revolutionary Spirit, a Post-Punk documentary.

​

With a solid background in camera assisting for TV dramas in London, I have had the opportunity to work with and learn from many experienced cinematographers. I took part in an intimate and practical workshop ran by Oscar nominated DP Ryszard Lenczewski (Ida, My Summer of Love). I have since delivered several lectures, presentations and workshops on filmmaking myself.

​

I have a passion for lighting, the impact of colour, texture and mise en scène and enjoy working closely with the production designer. Whilst I have the technical ability that's essential on set, my focus remains on creative filmmaking and what emotions visual storytelling can evoke.

​

My first drama feature as DP was Riptide for BIFA award-winning, BAFTA nominated Lyre Productions. Filmed in countless beautiful Scottish landscapes, it is a love story road movie exploring the relationship between two people with schizophrenia. Riptide was awarded Best Feature at Beyond The Curve, Prague IFA, BRNO and Hallucinea, selected by Scottish Mental Health Arts Festival, Canberra, Reel Recovery and Mark Kermode's Shetland Film Festival.
