My first camera was a VHS-C Camcorder that only shot in black and white. My friends and I had one tape. One. So every shot had to count — you couldn’t waste a frame because you couldn’t rewind and start over. That limitation taught me more about filmmaking than anything since.

A few years later we got a colour camera. Then digital Camcorders became affordable. Then HD. Then 4K. Now I’m shooting 6K and 8K in completely raw format — grading in DaVinci Resolve with a level of control that the kid with the VHS-C couldn’t have imagined. But the instinct is the same: find the frame, make it count.

Whether it’s a theatre stage, a recording studio, a product launch, or a car finding the limits of an apex — I’m looking for the moment that makes someone feel like they were standing right there. The same way films made me feel as a kid.

I work across live performance, theatre, artists, brand content, and motorsport. Different worlds, same standard. Performance Under Pressure.

Every project gets treated like a film. Crafted and coloured in DaVinci Resolve. Cut with intention. Because the work should look like it belongs on a screen, not just a feed. I’m not a videographer. I’m a filmmaker who happens to run a business.

Based in Melbourne. Available Australia-wide. If the project’s right, anywhere.
