It was my dream job, and as a photojournalist for twenty years I had the chance to travel the world, and capture moments for some well known publications.

My camera has brought me face to face with people from all walks of life, from those who appear to have everything, to those who struggle. The stories I’ve heard and the things I’ve witnessed have shaped who I am today.

I’ve also had incredible access to some of the most recognisable names in sport. It has given me insight into the athlete’s mindset, their total commitment, their sacrifice, and their passion. Not everyone gets to observe elite athletes up close, and while their natural talent may set them apart, at the core, they’re just like us.

This experience has influenced my journey, but also offered takeaways I carry into my day to day life.

In 2011, I found filmmaking. Since then, I’ve built a large body of work across multiple genres, all with a strong visual focus. I love the collaborative process. With my photojournalism background, documentary storytelling felt like a natural fit. I respect how a story can pull you in all directions as you shoot, creating a film that truly makes the best of what you’ve shot is such a great challenge.

My films have been featured at festivals and have received awards (when I’ve remembered to enter them). My portrait work is part of the National Portrait Gallery’s permanent collection.

One of my passions is mental health awareness. My Sky documentary Big Boys Don’t Cry, made with England rugby legend Joe Marler, came at a time when we were emerging from isolation. Our mission, to get people talking, was very well received.

In 2023, I launched Dover & Out, a documentary I shot, edited, directed, and produced. It received over 1 million views on COPA90’s social channels and over 240K on YouTube. That response shows there’s a real appetite for authentic sports stories.

So, let’s have a chat about your project, and then maybe we can work together to get it out there for people to see and enjoy.
