for the past 6 years, I have been developing my storytelling skills through acting, photography and cinematography. I believe it all started with Drama, I found a great passion for acting and found myself going to numerous drama classes. I started my passion for photography when I was gifted a Canon EOS 2000D for Christmas, I went on to complete a Photography course at A Levels, receiving an A* for my implement of 3D Photography throughout the course. Combining my years of acting knowledge and precise attention to detail from my years of photography, I found more of a passion for storytelling behind the camera, and since 2022, I have been developing my filmmaking skills doing a Filmmaking course at Bristol UWE. At university I have found more of a passion for lighting and creating visual tone, as I feel it is the most important aspect of a film.

This is me 1st 'ADing' during our 16mm fil commercial 'A Controller For Every Player', this was an amazing shoot as it was advertising Xbox which holds a place in my heart, also my first time shooting on film
Honestly, my favourite project I've ever been on, the thought of creating a noir Kobayashi inspired samurai film in Bristol, England still makes me excited to think about, this is a film I will forever tell people about.
An exciting, very demanding project, we were luckily given the opportunity by Arthur Brown and his wife to come up to York and create a documentary on the rockstar, my first experience as DOP but an absolute honour to film
