Crew Listing


Description

I am a photographer specialising in unit stills and portraiture, with a natural, documentary-led approach focused on capturing real emotion and authentic moments. My work blends candid observation with subtle direction, creating images that feel honest, immersive, and editorial in style.

I have experience working across unscripted television and short film productions, capturing behind-the-scenes moments, character portraits, and promotional imagery, as well as pack shots and key visual content. I am confident working in fast-paced environments, adapting quickly while remaining attentive to detail and the rhythm of a set.

My approach is intuitive and people-focused. I prioritise listening and understanding both the subject and the production’s needs, allowing me to capture moments that feel natural rather than staged. I am particularly drawn to the in-between moments - the expressions, interactions, and energy that bring a story to life.

I aim to create imagery that feels inclusive and relatable, avoiding rigid ideas of perfection and instead focusing on authenticity, character, and connection.


Special Interests

I have a strong interest in character-driven storytelling, particularly within scripted film and television. I am drawn to projects that explore real-life narratives, psychological themes, and the depth of human experience.

Alongside unit stills, I am passionate about portraiture that challenges stereotypes and promotes inclusivity, creating space for individuals to feel seen and represented. My work often centres around identity, confidence, and capturing people as they truly are.

I am especially interested in contributing to productions that value storytelling through imagery, where photography plays a role in both narrative documentation and promotional identity.
