About me
​​I’m a Sydney based cinematographer with a complete commitment to my craft. I believe in giving everything I can on every project until it's done. Perspiration is temporary, but once it's shot, it's permanent.​
​
With over 10 years of industry experience, I understand how to pair the right camera emotion, light and overall tone to get the shot required.
I have experience with small crew setups that can work fast, as well as larger productions with it's added pressures and responsibilities.
Where I’m from
I grew up on a farm in rural South Africa, where I developed a keen eye for the nuances, variations, and details that are abundant in the natural world. This early immersion in nature fostered a deep visual awareness—one that continues to inform my work.
​
What I’m doing
I have experience as a professional cinematographer on a wide range of commercial projects, as well as on narrative film sets. I have shot work that has featured on the ABC,BBC, STAN, Qantas Flight, Netflix and various other national and international TV channels. Recently I won an ACS NSW & ACT GOLD and the prestigious National ACS Golden Tripod for my work on the 30 Minute Narrative Short Film "Sasha's Game".
During Covid I also worked in the Previz department in Unreal Engine on Mad Max Furiosa with Action Director Guy Norris. This experience in Unreal Engine still informs how I plan my shoots today with regards to blocking and lighting. I definitely am a big believer in Pre-Production, Location Scouting, Shot-Lists and general planning, but once on set I believe it's also healthy to remain nimble and flexible.
