Hailing from a professional background in feature films within the VFX department, all of my camera experience, skills and training have come from working on film sets. Whilst observing the leaders of film making work at their specific craft, I’ve been lucky enough to extend my own knowledge and skillset from them.
My ambition is to become a Stills Photographer on set, to capture not only the performers on screen but also the magical moments of the day to day work of the crew. Over the 7 years I’ve been working on film sets I have been fortunate enough to witness truly incredible moments of creativity, dedication and sheer brilliance which I hope can be seen within the images in my portfolio.
I also have the idea of creating a true behind the scenes photography photo book detailing every department and what they do, hopefully one day I can get the access to fulfil this. Being someone who before I worked in film watched every BTS footage I could find, I passionately feel an open, intimate look into the incredible work done by the cast and crew would spark the minds of the next generation to pick up a camera and make the movies we love.
Capture gear: Sony A74 / Sony A7R4 / Leica Q2 Monochrome
