I've spent the last 20 years creating images and learning new ways to do this as a Photographer, Director of Photography and Stereographer designing images in 3D.  From my beginnings as a Photographer I studied the techniques of shooting on film and capturing the moment in a single image.  I graduated from The University of Westminster with a First Class Honours Degree in Contemporary Media Practise.  I worked as a camera assistant on Hollywood features such as "Lost in Space" and "The Avengers."  Following this, I studied Cinematography, the art of lighting and camerawork, at the National Film & Television School for 3 years. 
​

As a Director of Photography I've worked on features, commercials, animations and documentaries for film and television.  I'm always exploring how I can bring images, emotions, characters and stories ever closer to the audience in innovative ways.  
Progressing from film to digital, stills to moving images and now working not only in 2D, but also in 3D. I'm always keen to ​rise to a challenge be it creative or technical.

My greatest professional achievements to date have been as a Stereographer on "Flying Monsters" featuring David Attenborough BAFTA winner (Specialist Factual), Lighting Camerawoman on Tim Burton's "Corpse Bride," Stereography Assistant on the Oscar & BAFTA winning film "Gravity" and lighting up the London Eye.  I include my sail across the Atlantic Ocean as one of my best personal achievements. ​
