This episode covers my first experience on a car spot. It was a test of my adaptability with lighting, working with both available and staged lighting, as well as my ability to problem solve on the fly and be a team player when sh*t hits the fan. Enjoy!

Omari has been building a Screendance production company for several years now and has been a close collaborator of mine on several projects to date, some of which I ha…

Episode number TEN!! This time I am talking about my unique use of the oner. How I work with stage performers, and how it works in practise when I walk you through a really neat short screendance film I DP'd. Enjoy!

This episode is a bit of a different format. I'm looking over multiple projects to compare and analyse the various interview setups I've done over the years. This selection of frames spans both planned and unplanned interview setups as well as high key & low key looks. Enjoy!

A look at an old project from back in the 5D heyday. From braving the freezing beaches of northern England in late November to the shifting workflow of shooting for coverage, rather than executing specific visuals shot by shot. Enjoy!

A look at one of my favourite dance films to date. This hybrid concept short/music video was a great chance to explore my love for available light. Enjoy!
