I’m principally a cinematographer, based in the UK, and trained at the Northern School of Film & TV.

I have worked worldwide on documentaries, features, large format, educational, corporate, campaign films, music promos and live concert visuals, shooting anything from Super 8mm to 8-perf. 70mm, C-VHS to 4k.

I have a particular speciality in motion controlled timelapse.

My broadcast credits include the BBC, WGBH, NBC NEWS, OPEN UNIVERSITY, CBC and CHANNEL 4.

In the music world I have photographed, directed, produced and edited material for STEVEN WILSON / PORCUPINE TREE, ORBITAL, TIM BOWNESS, LISA GERRARD, BANCO DE GAIA, RODNEY BRANIGAN and TANGERINE DREAM.

I also direct documentary and special venue films.  Most recently I wrote, directed, photographed, edited and produced two large format productions – ANCIENT SKIES (4k ‘FullDome’ – 46 mins.) and REMNANTS (2k Widescreen – 36 mins.) – for one of the world’s leading planetarium companies SKY-SKAN GmbH.

In 2016 I co-founded WAKEWOOD PRODUCTIONS Ltd, with three-time Royal Television Society award winner and former BBC producer Mike Greenwood, and our clients have included WOODLAND TRUST, NATIONAL TRUST and SCOTTISH WILDLIFE TRUST.

I’m currently shooting with the Blackmagic URSA MINI PRO 4.6k EF camera, and my timelapse is originated on 2 x Canon 5D Mk2 cameras and custom motion controls – pan / tilt / 11 ft track – based around ‘Time Machine’ electronics by Bryan Mumford.
