Recent edit. The bare bones of a ~30s cinematic promo: score, VO, my footage, adjustments (incl. grade), graphics/type, bumper. Small build, strong impact 🎬💪

Some of my filming set-up at a fabulous event yesterday. Small kit, but the results are beautifully high-end 🙌🎬

It’s getting to that time of year again, so here’s a reminder that I played Kim Wilde’s love rival in the official music video for British Electric Foundation’s ‘Every Time I See You I Go Wild’. Watch 👉 bit.ly/3JbsqH7

Just watched HAUNTED HOUSE OF PANCAKES (2025) on Amazon Prime Video. A really well-put-together and enjoyable 80s creature feature / cursed object influenced indie film. The Evil Dead, Critters and more vibes. Also noticed my journalist friend David Gelmini’s name in the thanks credits!

Back behind the lens – this time for stills. I mainly shoot with my trusty 50mm, which gives a natural, professional look (it’s closest to how we actually see). Thinking of branching out to an 85mm soon though for portrait work 📷

🎬 The fight scenes in my film SEIZE THE NIGHT (2015) were choreographed by the late, great Roy Scammell – Alien (1979), A Clockwork Orange (1971), Superman (1978) and numerous Bond films. Seen here in fight rehearsals with me, a deadly dance! Photo by David Kittos 📸

Braved the tube strike two days running – Monday for a cinematic brand promo with my own kit, Tuesday for an industry insights piece using external gear (pictured). Kit tailored for the different style of outputs – visually immersive vs documentary/broadcast style 🎬

Not the most thrilling post, but fab to swap my old leather custom for a new camera bag for filming and photography on the move! 🎬

No FrightFest media wall pic this time, but here’s me with author & screenwriter pal, Rick Humphries (Seize the Night), who flew in from the states. We’d just watched a film in one of James Cameron’s fav screens 🎬🇺🇸

🎬 11+ years in narrative filmmaking. From magazines to panels, I’ve fought to make sure women aren’t just seen – they’re heard 🙌

Treated myself to a new lightweight Manfrotto tripod. I mainly shoot handheld (both photography and video) but a lighter weight tripod is always useful! 🎥
