About
I am a Freelance Unit Stills Photographer, with a passion for cinema and visual media. I work on film sets and events taking BTS images in fast paced environments, capturing moments and focusing on details happening around me. My style can be described as the illusion of movement contrasted with the inherent stillness of an image.
I love to focus on emotions and capturing changes and reactions in people's faces. Being on a film set is fantastic and I continually strive to be able to connect, meet and work with lots of people as I am passionate about filmmaking both in front of and behind the camera.
Recent inspirations are Costa Gavras’s The Confession (1970), Nadia Lee Cohen and various Doctor Who promotional and BTS images alike. I am also a big fan of specific filmmaking niches like unmotivated lighting, split diopter shots and blurry freeze frames.
