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.
