Originally from the North of England, I trained in the UK, starting my career loading on feature films, focus pulling on commercials and shooting documentary content. I've always loved documentary and in these early days I shot several beautiful projects in Malawi, China and India which went on to win awards, change government policy and secure additional funding.
Now based in Dubai, I work locally and internationally shooting commercial & documentary as DP or Director/DP. I create cinema-quality visuals with top-line cameras, primarily on location but also in the studio.
I love to create images that feel real. I shoot with as much depth and feeling as possible. I embrace imperfection, texture and in-camera techniques. To me it has to feel human. Especially in documentary where I shoot to provide a rich visual palette, images which combine to portray a visceral world.

Analogue photography takes years to master. I've developed it as an additional discipline but also to inform my cinematography. All film has an inherent texture and depth, and a beautiful potential for imperfection. But each stock also reacts differently enabling a vast array of looks to suit the subject.
My still analogue work has been featured in magazines and exhibitions internationally. I'm now encouraging the renewed used of Super8, 16mm & 35mm motion film in the region, especially as a visual tool alongside digital on commercial projects.
