To date I have six features under my belt as cinematographer:
United We Fan a doc that chronicles the Super Fans who fight for their favourite TV shows; Booked Out an Indie romance that toured through two dozen UK cities; a romantic comedy in the Richard Curtis mold: Love's Kitchen; teen chew'em up horror 13 HRS which was later unleashed in the US under the title Night Wolf; a British zombie b-movie S.N.U.B! and a Canadian indie superhero hit Sidekick. I have also collaborated on dozens of award winning short films in a multitude of formats. I have shot music videos, corporate videos, promos and commercials.
HISTORY
Like many of us, my fascination with the movies began at a very young age. The drawing pads of my childhood were filled with felt pen recreations of scenes from Star Wars, Zorro, Popeye, Flash Gordon and Superman. In 1979 I got my first copy of American Cinematographer and learned all about the making of The Muppet Movie.
My fate was sealed.
I shot my first short film on Super8 in the spring of 1985. I was reintroduced to Super8 some years later while attending Toronto's York University, where I completed an Honours Bachelor of Fine Arts in Film Production in 1995.
Then it was off to Singapore for a brief stint teaching introductory film production at Ngee Ann Polytechnic. I returned to Canada and began working with I.A.T.S.E. International Cinematographers Guild, first as an Assistant and later an Electronic Cameraperson.
In 2007 I moved with my family to the United Kingdom, and having recently spent 3 years in Milan, I am again living and working in London.
My work as a Cinematographer has been seen worldwide, from Dawson City to Singapore. Films that I shot have screened at:
