Last night’s CSC ceremony was definitely a career highlight for me. Hard to put into words the gratitude I feel in winning Best Cinematography in a dramatic series for my work on Shogun. The fact that this award is voted on by my peers and fellow cinematographers makes this receiving this award very gratifying.
Congratulations to my fellow nominees
@pierregill_dp ,
@brutes ,
@jeremy_benning and
@dmacleod whose work speaks so much to the immense quality of the Canadian cinematography these days. It is an honour to be included in this group.
A big shout out to
@jvantulleken and
@edjibevel for setting such a high visual standard on the pilot. All of Shogun’s successes have come from the heavy lifting you guys in building this world for the rest of us to inhabit. Everything has grown from that first seed you planted and we are all indebted to your mastery and vision.
To my episode director
@eokfilms , thank you for your stringent vision and attention to detail. Your trust in me helped push me into bold choices and encouraged me to take big swings of the cinematic bat.
To the local Vancouver crew, I can easily say that you are one of the best I have ever had the privilege of collaborating with; 1st AD

@rwdevitt and DIT extraordinaire

When I dropped out of an economics degree to try to make a go at this film thing, I never imagined myself winning this award. I am humbled and grateful for this journey and all that it keeps teaching me.
