Before the camera came along.

My eye started in painting, moved through photography, and found film - and the curiosity never left.

I'm a director of photography working across film, commercials and music video. I don't start with the camera - I start with a question: what is this story really about?

What pulls me in is people - the moment someone forgets the camera is there and something true slips out. I'd rather make a film that stays with you than one that only looks good.
