Summary

I am a photographer and videographer working across documentary, sport and live events, with experience producing short-form films and photographic coverage for a range of clients and organisations. My work includes features on athletes, coverage of boxing events, and commissions for university sports teams, alongside documentary projects with artists and cultural institutions. I also have professional studio experience as a runner, supporting productions through equipment handling, set preparation and client liaison. Comfortable working independently or as part of a crew, I bring a practical, safety-aware approach to production and experience managing projects from planning through to post-production and delivery.
