I am a UK based underwater camera operator working across a wide range of productions including feature films, TV dramas and commercials. I enjoy working as part of a creative team in the studio or on location as part of main, second or VFX units. 



Working closely with Directors and DOPs to bring their creative vision to life through meaningfully framed and composed shots. I have a fresh, enthusiastic approach and collaborate closely with all departments whilst being supported by a highly experienced and friendly team.




With credits as both a camera operator and cinematographer I enjoy creative storytelling and lighting whilst mixing styles and techniques developed during my time shooting across a broad range of productions.

Owner operator with a range of underwater camera equipment for hire, see section below for details.

Working solely on underwater productions since 2013 has given me a comprehensive understanding of all the element that go into a successful shoot day. Collaborating with  Production and Marine Coordinators to help setup the shoot from the outset, often consulting early in the process.
