Videography

On-location filming

I shoot on location using available daylight where possible, with practical light for work-in-progress scenes. Every shot is framed to hold its place in the final sequence.

Editing

The edit

Timelines are built with deliberate pacing, letting each sequence breathe. I work from the footage itself, so the structure often emerges during review.

Photography

Still photography

Still frames from the same projects, composed with the same attention to light and negative space. They stand on their own or sit alongside the moving work.

Approach

Light, pacing and the choices behind the frame

Some projects begin with a clear plan; others find their direction once I am reviewing the footage. I work directly from initial shot list through final colour and export, so the same hand shapes every stage.
