Photographer & Filmmaker
I’m a photographer and filmmaker with over 15 years behind the camera, capturing moments as they unfold. I take a natural and immersive approach to outdoor lifestyle, sport and adventure. I’m drawn to the energy, movement and honest emotion of people and place. Whether I’m shooting high-performance sport, outdoor lifestyle campaigns or brand storytelling projects, my focus is always the same - to create photography and film that feels genuine, authentic and organic. I always pay attention to the details that give a story depth.
I don’t just want to show how it looked.
I want it to feel real.
I work across lifestyle, sport and adventure, delivering commercial photography, branded films and visual content for global campaigns and independent brands. From fast-paced action to quieter human stories, I bring the same steady focus to every production. My work has taken me to Hawaii, Canada, Mozambique, Iceland, the Faroe Islands, Botswana, Cape Town and Azerbaijan.
I love shooting water photography - I’ve filmed and photographed in oceans, seas, rivers, mountain lakes, swimming pools, and even man-made inland surf destinations. From open water swells to controlled water environments, I understand how to work safely and creatively in constantly changing conditions, positioning myself exactly where the action unfolds.
Away from the camera, I’m a husband and a dad to two boys (4 and 1). I’ve built this career in filmmaking and photography with intention - not to constantly chase work, but to create something sustainable. Something that allows for school drop-offs, pick-ups, beach afternoons and bedtime stories. Being present matters most. I also volunteer on the RNLI boat crew, which keeps me grounded and connected to the sea and the community.
When I’m not working, I’m usually found outdoors - windsurfing, surfing, wild camping, hiking, planning our next family van trip or in my greenhouse with a coffee in hand. I feel most at home in open spaces - sunshine, beaches, saltwater, wind and mountains. Add snacks and a coffee and I’m even happier.
