About Me
Filmmaker. Visual Storyteller. Cameraman
For me its all about Story Telling
I have 25 years of experience in the creative industries, sound and visual.
I achieved an Honors degree in Sound Technology from the renowned Liverpool Institute for Performing arts as well as a Media Production HND and a MBA in Business. Visual story telling is always at the heart of my work; I see images, textures and stories in everyday life that I would like to share with others. This is how my films develop.
​
I combine high quality filming techniques, aerial filming and time-lapse photography. Having previously traveled the world as a DJ and entertainments manager working with world class acts like N Sync and the Spice Girls, I am now much happier behind the lens than in front, utilising the wealth of people and cultural experiences to make interesting short films form documentary to corporate events.
