Description

I'm an award-winning photographer who has been shooting theatre performances and travel for many years. My love for telling a story and working with actors and directors has taken me into the world of Unit Stills Photography. I trained with Nicola Dove (stills photographer on 007's No Time to Die) in her Film Stills Academy and have not looked back since.

I shoot on Nikon Z8s (silent) with a variety of lenses and am discrete and adaptable to any environment. I've worked on both scripted and unscripted including Bookish with Mark Gatiss and Silent Witness 29 and 30, a WW2 love story feature, a BFI funded short, an Arts Council Funded short film and have a mix of other short films in the pipeline.

I'm based in the Midlands, just outside Birmingham in Hinckley (Leicestershire) with a place to stay near Banbury too, but more than happy to travel. I'm an international spirit having lived in Sierra Leone, West Africa and with parents hailing from Burma (Myanmar) and the UK.
