. me

I document moments of emotional significance, and I love it. Whether beautiful, powerful or painful, recording something real is an incredible feeling. It’s like lightning in a bottle and sharing those rare bursts of expression is something I’m lucky to do.

My films are made with as much care and passion as I possess. By capturing life as it happens I hope to harness the energy of a moment that cannot be rehearsed or recreated. Sometimes scenes feel so alive they almost vibrate, well to me anyway.  

All of my projects have their own tone and identity. Every story is different and I’ve never wanted to force a technique or style upon it. I take inspiration from the subject, each time challenging myself to create something unique that reflects it. I make films from the heart and pride myself on a compassionate approach to storytelling, always looking for the best in people and encouraging them to express their true feelings. 

I’ve made many things over the years and have documented some extraordinary moments. Here are a few select works that I’m particularly proud of…
