Welcome to my 2020 Demo Reel, showcasing my work as a Cinematographer & Video Producer to-date. The aim was to break the Showreel status quo by coming up with a concept that delivers a little more than just a sequence of pretty imagery. After all, I am meant to be a visual storyteller! I wanted to convey the reasonings & motivations behind my decision to ditch the 9-5 in pursuit of the creative career that I love, as well as hopefully inspiring a few people along the way to think about making their own positive change. This is especially poignant since we’re all living in a time when there’s never been more opportunity nor reason to reflect upon the way we’re existing & spending our lives.
A BIG THANK YOU for hiring me to all the clients I’ve had the pleasure of working with so far; from TV Networks, Production Companies & Creative Agencies; to Brands, Corporates, SMEs, Public Bodies, Charities & Events. And not forgetting all the very talented & creative Cast, Crew, Producers & Marketeers that make it all very possible & super enjoyable.
