Irish Director of Photography. Based between London and Belfast. NFTS Cinematography alumnus. Working across film, TV drama, documentary, and music videos.
My image-making obsession began alongside a five-year career as a teenage YouTuber. While my young mind strained under the exposure of small-scale stardom, I sought solace behind the camera, a place where time seemed to stop.
After graduating with a BA in Film Production, I developed my technical and collaborative skills over four years working within the camera department on productions such as Game of Thrones and Mission: Impossible. All the while I continued shooting my own work.
I graduated from the MA Cinematography course at the NFTS in 2024. Since then, I have worked predominantly in short film, music video, documentary and TV drama (B Camera). Collaborating with the likes of Sony Music, AWAL, and Channel 4.
I have a deep love of cinema and the liberation it can provide, both as a viewer and as a maker. All I aim to do is touch on something authentic through film. I’m fascinated by shooting and collaborating, regardless of scale. I’ve also been reliably informed that I’m very nice and good to work with.
Don’t hesitate to get in touch.
