I fell in love with single-frame animation at primary school aged 11 and received a grant from the Australian Film Commission to make a short film when I was 14. I also fell in love with surfing and bought a Super 8 camera which I took on a trip to Indonesia after high school and made my first surf travelogue. 

After graduating with a BA majoring in Film & TV at Curtin University in West Australia, I worked with a wildlife documentary unit for a STW Channel 9 in Perth, then as in camera roles for Perth's largest production company, Western Images, for nearly 3 years.

I worked on a mixture of TVC's, some for national and international clients and industrial/corporate docos often flying to the Northwest of WA to film on offshore oil and gas rigs for Woodside or to iron ore mines in the Pilbara and gold mines around Kalgoorlie.

I've since worked as a freelance Director of Photography for over 20 years including assignments in countries such as Mexico, Costa Rica, Morocco, Mozambique, Sth Africa, Indonesia, French Polynesia, Peru, Chile and Brazil as well as Europe, Fiji and the United States.

I'm familiar with most film and video cameras & formats including RED & Alexa, & currently own a RED Epic W camera + Sony FX6 and FX3 along with a wide range of Canon, Sony and Zeiss lenses from 16mm to 600mm.

I recently filmed a series of 30 promotional videos for Tourism Australia to promote regional tourism and worked on several episodes of The ABC Arts program The Art of with Namila Benson and am working with the First People’s Assembly of Victoria on a project about Treaty and what it means for Indigenous and non-Indigenous people.

I’m a CASA accredited drone pilot, hold both RePL & ReOC certification and have a Mavic 3 Pro Cine.

I have a strong work ethic; am reliable, a team player and enjoy bringing working with people who are passionate about bringing their ideas to life. I play the guitar and sing even when others try to stop me!

Feel free to shoot me an email here and say hi, I'd love to hear from you.
