What a year, 2024! I feel like I’ve grown a significant amount this year, not just as a Cinematographer but as a human being too. It’s been full of many challenges, but also rewarding experiences like having the opportunity to travel to Europe and Vietnam for work. I’m super grateful to everyone I’ve worked with and for the opportunities. Here’s to a great 2025!

Recently I had the opportunity to DP 3 days on @minglerfilm on behalf of @stephanieseniorcreative and brought my 35mm film stills camera for some unique BTS. I used the @cinestillfilm Double-X black and white film to experiment with a strong vintage look you can’t replicate digitally. Thanks to @silverhalidestudios for the processing. I love the unique look of film and the discipline of using it and would love to shoot motion film on a project one day. Thanks again to the amazing cast and crew of @minglerfilm ! #cinematography #blackandwhitephotography #film #filmisnotdead #perthfilm #perthisok

The trailer’s finally out for the feature I shot back in late 2020. A great experience working with an awesome cast and crew and a fantastic opportunity to develop my skills on a visually unique project. Looking forward to the next one!

Excited to finally share a few screenshots from the music video ā€œLiscannor Bayā€ I shot for @ciaran_o_sullivanmusic (link to video in his bio). Filmed at @kidogoarthouse , a beautiful location with lots of character (and candles šŸ•Æ). #cinematography #cinematographer #musicvideo #irishmusic #blackmagicdesign #perthisok
