WHAT MOVES.
Freelance camera operator, filming and editing working UK-wide. Based in Birmingham, UK
15 years of turning briefs into footage.
TV adverts, brand films, festivals, live events, corporate, arts and theatre capture.
Book me for the day, the shoot, or the whole production.
Trusted to shoot, direct, light and edit for a variety of brands, video production companies, broadcasters, institutions and organisations.
AWAY FROM THE STORYBOARD.
A good part of the year goes to universities, arts organisations and funded programmes - conferences, live events, socials, highlights and documentary capture. A different rhythm to a shoot day: read the room, stay out of the way, and come back with what actually happened.
- Universities & research film
- Arts organisations & funded programmes
- Conferences, events & live capture
- Social content & highlights films
- Corporate & internal communications
