Range of Services
Overview
I’ve been working as a Director and DOP for over 10 years, diving into everything from comedy and drama to sports and documentaries.
With a background in post-production and VFX—and some time spent in-house at ad agencies—I’ve got a solid handle on the entire process, along with what creatives and clients need. I’m all about finding solutions, staying flexible, and making sure we get the best results while keeping everyone happy along the way.
Director
I primarily work as a Director, and it’s common for me to handle both directing and DOP duties. I take pride in being solution-focused and getting the best results with the resources available.

DOP
I often work solely as a DOP, collaborating with directors on their projects.
While I believe having an understanding of directing helps with collaboration and the creative process, I have a dedicated website for my DOP work that doesn’t reference my directing experience.

Piccolo - Content Based Projects
A collection of my smaller, content-driven productions.
These projects typically involve leaner budgets, smaller crews, and cover a range of formats, including social media videos, small TVCs, and testimonial videos.
Camera Rentals
I own a range of camera equipment, including an Arri Alexa Mini package, making the process straightforward and competitively priced.
Lighting & Grip Van
I own a small lighting and grip van. It’s designed to be the ultimate Swiss army knife, a compact package built to handle the needs of smaller shoots.
I use it regularly on my own smaller projects, and it’s also available for other productions. I can recommend trusted gaffers and grips to operate it if needed.
Post Production
I collaborate with plenty of post-production pros, but I have a background in it and still get hands-on now and then.
From crafting the first director’s cut, seeing post-production through to the end, to adding some VFX, motion graphics, or colour grading, I enjoy staying connected to the editing process when I can.
