BIO

I’m a Sydney based cinematographer with a complete commitment to my craft.

With over 10 years of industry experience, I understand how to pair the right camera emotion, light and overall tone to get the shot required. 

I have experience with small crew setups that can work fast, as well as larger productions (25+) with it’s added pressures and responsibilities.

I grew up on a farm in rural South Africa, where I developed a keen eye for the nuances, variations, and details that are abundant in the natural world.  To me, it’s an immersion in, and awareness of, the visual splendour of our world, that makes our lives interesting and colourful. 

I have experience as a professional cinematographer on a wide range of commercial projects, as well as on narrative film sets.  I have shot work that has featured on the ABC,BBC, STAN, Qantas Flight and various other national and international TV channels.  Recently I won an ACS NSW & ACT GOLD for my work on the 30 Minute Narrative Short Film “Sasha’s Game”.
