I am a story teller. A film & TV director who also loves to film events, particularly weddings.
I have been taking photographs since I was a child, when I stole a few ill-judged images of a rhinoceros on my Dad’s Minolta. I think I rapidly became rather better at filming things from that moment onwards! Since then I have filmed and photographed a wild assortment of things and always sought to find the right technique to capture them.
But despite the vast array of things I have filmed and photographed in my career, people are my favourite subject.
During my life I have directed and edited dozens of films and TV programmes. With my director hat on I am comfortable commanding a large crew on a set with time as our most precious commodity – calmly guiding the production through a tricky shoot. Equally I am at home as a lone self-shooter – being as discreet as possible, endeavouring to capture critical moments whilst being as unobtrusive as I can.
Having edited hundreds of films every imaginable genre, I still get a thrill from taking all that has been acquired on a shoot, and turning it into a unified whole – a film, a curated collection or a set of definitive articles.
I think if you would like to hire me to film your wedding or event, you will find me very friendly, easy to communicate with, and highly adept at capturing the essence of everything about your special day.
