Biography
I was born in the Northern Rivers of NSW, Australia. My fascination with film began at an early age; editing and shooting video since I was 12. A young computer geek fixated on editing videos I’d pull from dial up internet, which lead to buying my first hi8 handycam. I began my career working in fast food chains and living on the dole around the Central Coast. I got schooled, got lost, and studied a Bachelor of Film at SAE Media College in Byron Bay. I find myself observing a lot, and for me, observation without judgement is true feeling - this is what I want to get across through my visuals - a feeling of truth. I prefer minimal direction with the subject. If I can be with whats happening around me in this state of mind and film with feeling, I believe that can create another kind of connection with the audience. My bond with nature and the sea are a huge catalyst for my style of cinematography.

From the Judges, on Black Moon (2022)
From the Judges, on Black Moon
A portrait of an Australian surfer and his lifelong bond with the ocean, this short carries a visual poise the panel found genuinely absorbing. Its gorgeous, carefully composed photography and smoothly constructed edit open a window onto the artist's process, his commitment, and his legacy. They came away wanting more.
