Film making can be done for all sorts of reasons; entertainment, news, documentary. It’s a way to communicate what’s going on in the world: The good the bad and the indifferent.

For me it’s often about highlighting a problem and either sharing some solutions, or sharing stories of inspiring change makers, as a tool to help people see how they can make a difference.

When I worked on End of the Line, afterwards I noticed people started asking supermarkets about the fish they were selling. Within a year 4.7 million people were aware of this movie. The overall commitment to buy sustainable fish rose from 43 per cent to 84 per cent among audiences seeing the film. (Britdoc study 2010)

The best stories change what we do and how we think, and that’s what I try to do with the films I make or collaborate on.

My photography work tries to capture the essence of a story. Stories of injustice and human rights touch me deeply, and this is reflected in my work by creating beautiful evocative and emotive images of strong subject matter.

Returned from a wonderful shooting week in the amazing city of Istanbul. Fantastic place to shoot.
