Bio

I'm a BAFTA-nominated, three-time BSC-nominated cinematographer based in London, working worldwide.

In 2024, Yellow — which I shot and co-produced — was nominated for a BAFTA and shortlisted for an Oscar. Since then my work has earned a third BSC Short Film Cinematography nomination (Gesualdo, 2025) and a win at Raindance (There Will Come Soft Rains, 2025). Long-form credits include the historical epic The Empire for Disney+ Hotstar and Al Sharar for MBC Studios; my first feature, Utopia, was longlisted at the 88th Academy Awards.

Whether it's a commercial spot or an eight-part series, I light and frame for story — purposeful images that strive to carry the idea visually before a word is spoken. I'm a member of BAFTA and the European Film Academy, hold UK and EU citizenship, and shoot wherever the work is.
