About

Through my work I strive to hold the vibrations of human existence in close-up without losing sight of the forces that move us, the banks that constrain us and the atmospheres which we absorb. Beneath all that is a need to seek out and bring visual life to stories that connect with those within me.

My directorial debut short Fortress was developed with Film London/BFI and premiered at the BAFTA eligible London Short Film Festival. My music videos have been shortlisted for a Shiny Award and nominated for a MOBO. I’m currently developing projects between drama and documentary and am always open to explore collaborations and commissions which resonate.

 As a moonlighting cinematographer and self-shooter with a background in photography and editing, and a bunch of kit, I’m very happy to bring that repertoire and resource to projects where it elevates. That said, I’m most creatively alive when working with talented people to foster and steer a collective energy in service of a story.

I’m a London boy born and based, of mixed European and Camissa African heritage. I have a cherished partner and son, a passion/tolerance for Arsenal FC, a bag of battered running shoes and a long list of nicknames related to my apparently insatiable appetite.
