At my core, I am a documentary photographer. I love documenting live events, and I get a real buzz capturing genuine emotions in a live performance, whether it is on a film set, at the theatre, on the pitch, or on the street. For me, a great film still is one that captures both the intensity of the performance and authenticity of the moment.
I have over 9 years of experience as an IATSE Local 669 unit stills photographer, and have worked on numerous features and high-profile series. Professionally, I take special care to learn as much about a production as I can before arriving on set, and enjoy working with key creatives in order to produce stills that best market a film. Once on set, I always strive to capture my best images without disturbing the rhythms of the cast and crew. I have executed key art campaigns for numerous theatrical features and television premieres, and am equally at home in a studio environment. My work has appeared online and in print in many publications, including Hollywood Reporter, Empire, Variety, Entertainment Weekly, NY Times, NY Post, LA Times, The Guardian, Seventeen, and Slant among others.
Before photography, I completed a graduate degree in archaeology at Oxford University and worked as a professional archaeologist. My archaeological fieldwork has uniquely prepared me for working in difficult conditions and in remote locations. I understand the tensions that can emerge during location shooting when under strict deadlines and budgets, and it is in this atmosphere that I feel I am at my best.
I am a dual Canadian and UK citizen. I live in Vancouver, BC, and when not shooting, you can usually find me either out hiking BC’s beautiful coast or goofing around with my son (or both).
