I am a freelance videographer / camera operator based in Bristol,
United Kingdom. I am a university filmmaking student with a passion for working with cameras.
I work on a range of project types from short films, documentaries and videography for clients.

I collaborated with a media production student at university to create his short film alongside the DOP from another recent short film "A Complete Mare". I also worked as a Camera Operator for most of this project and delivered the vision that was proposed.
In our main university project of second year, our short film had to be based on true events. I worked as a camera operator on this comedy about the horse meat scandal of 2013, written and directed by Lola Boulden and Max Delany. Whilst some aspects of the film did not work as well as we'd hoped, we are very proud of the film. It has been our most professional and enjoyable experience to date.
Myself and my course mates volunteered to work with a theatre in Yeovil that closed-down in 2023. We interviewed some people who hold an emotional attachment to the place and created content to help officially announce their re-development plans to re-open in 2028.
I helped film three episodes for a cooking show done by my university flatmate's mother. This is a regular show released on YouTube every Saturday.
I have worked with my friend's band multiple times at their concerts as well as shooting part of their music video.
In a university module, we had to create a ninety-second film whilst being restricted to only one shot, and no camera movement. We came up with idea of a robbery getaway scene filmed outside our flat.
This film was part of our second-year documentary module at university. We made this film about our producer's grandfather who was a football legend for Leicester City in the 1960's. I worked as the Director of Photography on this project, and was thrilled to work professionally with a great group of people. Special thanks to Leicester City Football Club

I have delivered multiple videos for a sole trader to promote his business based on using old ways of working with his horse.
I have delivered a promo video for a client to promote his honey product produced from his bee hives.

"The Big Fish" is my my first short film to be produced at University. In this project, I worked on a stricter role in Cinematography / Camera Operating. I thoroughly enjoyed making this film as we turned out to be a fantastic production team.
Myself and my new flatmate signed up to a local film competition. We teamed up with a group of strangers with experience in the film & media industry, and together we wrote, filmed, and edited this 3-minute short.
"Recovery" is the short film I produced for my final college project. This film has been labelled as a perfect representation of my strengths and weaknesses as a filmmaker. The weaknesses of this film revolves around it's lack of story elements such as backstory, however my ability to execute this idea through direction, mood and tone has been highly praised.
I was thrilled to win 'Best short film' at my college awards for this project last year. I am studying Creative Media as an extended diploma at Witney and Abingdon college. Having created some quite moody pieces I chose to make this Rom Com, for my independent project. I wanted to show that I can come up with a diverse range of ideas. I designed the concept, scripted, directed and edited this piece and I feel it helped me develop my leadership skills as well.
We had a lot of fun putting this film together at college. It was our first group project and we rotated roles throughout - I didn't get an acting role but if you look carefully that's me posting the letter through the door.
This VT introduces a rising football star who's on a rocket ship to superstardom. I directed, edited and was the cinematographer on this piece and it formed part of a group multi-camera project.
Yet another project set in the woods. This group task was in response to our tutor's brief to create an dramatic opening scene with a melancholic tone.
I took the role of cinematographer on this project which was directed by a friend of mine at college. I enjoyed the factual approach to this project. The video was made to be a tool for the local band to promote their new album.
This music video was my first independent project at college. I was highly praised by my tutors for my ability to set a mood, which was my main intention for the idea. I chose this song because men's mental health is important to me. From a technical viewpoint the project focused on lip-syncing and colour grading in the edit.

This was my college induction project and my first production team experience. We all took a turn at the cinematography and created individual edits.
