Directors of Photography don’t just frame shots, we shape perspective.👁
We translate vision into emotion, light into meaning, and story into something beautiful that you can feel 🎬✨ Also as a DOP things are constantly changing, so you learn to adapt, fast!

So when threw me onto the industry panel last-minute at the Blackburn with Darwen Screen Strategy launch, I treated it like any other set, trust your instinct and roll with it, because these moments matter 💬

We talked about creative responsibility, AI, film access, and what it means to build something lasting in the North. Not just more content but real infrastructure. Real opportunity. 🚀

There’s a new energy here. And I’m proud to help push it forward. 💡

This isn’t just film it’s the future in motion,
And this is only the beginning. 🎥

If you're a creative in the North or if you're working on something bold in film, tech or storytelling 📝 then lets talk 🤝

🎬 Excited to share that GUILT has been officially selected for the 2025 New York Lift-Off Film Festival!

Shot using the Sony FX3 and the DJI AI Intelligent Tracking Module, this 90-second psychological tech short explores guilt, privacy, and irreversible decisions—Black Mirror–style.

It’s raw, it's personal, and it’s the first in a series of dark, standalone stories I’ve written that I hope to bring to life.

Thanks to for the selection ☺️ and if you’re into high-concept, low-budget storytelling, tap follow. This is just the beginning 🔥🙌

Also a special thanks to for assisting me whilst self shooting this, this little man is learning quick and soon enough will be shooting his own shorts 🔥

DJI RS4 Pro for those smooth shots⚖️

Aputure lighting to shape the mood💡

Tilta for rock-solid rigging🛠

Atomos Ninja for perfect monitoring📺

Whether it's a branded doc or a quick gym shoot, the kit stays dialled so the story can shine. 🎞
