I am passionate about images & storytelling. I started photography in New York when I was 19 and returned to London to work my way towards becoming a Director of Photography. My love of people, an inquisitive mind and an ability to tell a story turned me towards documentary directing. I love all 3 roles and I love the challenges that each one gives me.
Having worked in the film industry for 6 years as a freelance camera assistant, I have progressed into shooting documentaries, current affairs, music videos and corporate films.
Clients include:
I started photography a decade ago and it naturally evolved into a career. Over the years I have built up a substantial client portfolio.
Published work includes:
My debut as a documentary director was a short called ‘Mother Courage’ which is being aired by Al Jazeera English’s documentary strand ‘Witness’, with worldwide distribution by Journeyman Pictures.
Clients include:
I have always loved to learn about people and different cultures. I have a Bachelor of Science but wish I had a BA in Anthropology! I enjoy living in London but feel the need to escape and travel frequently.
Just returned form a seven week trip to India, a magical country full of wonder!
