I've been a director of photography for 20 years shooting commercials (Dell, British Telecom, Daily Mail), music videos, drama and corporate communications. I'm based in north London.

I own a Sony F55 large-sensor camera, Canon 30-105mm zoom, and set of 6 PL prime lenses (all 4k certified). The F55 records HD, 2k and 4k in raw or a variety of codecs, and offers 240fps slow-motion.

You can view my D.O.P. resumé and equipment list.
