I pride myself in being a career assistant: in having a fascination for the technical as well as wanting to help support great aesthetics. My favourite jobs involve a good deal of logical thinking and being able to quietly offer creative thoughts while sharing knowledge with my team.
Working as a 1st Assistant Camera / Focus Puller in the UK and internationally since 2012 (and up through the camera dept before that), I like to vary my work between long and short form projects as I find the variety rewarding; in offering me changes to working style, crew sizes, kit dependance etc. it often gives refreshing perspectives and experiences. My hope is to find the fun in jobs, which I usually find coming from interesting people and great stories.
In 2019 I achieved a long term goal by being accepted into the Guild of British Camera Technicians (GBCT), and in 2022 joined the Friends of The Association of Camera Operators (ACO). Continued development allows me to better support my teams and crews, and in turn helps me better engage and share with those who support me.
I am so grateful to all the amazing people I have worked and learnt from with throughout my career - and I’m excited to see what fantastic new projects and opportunities are ahead for us.
