What does photography mean to you?
Photography is a vessel to vent my creativity by capturing emotions, feeling and moods in a cinematic way.
Everyone I know, all my friends and people I respect, are in the industry and together weve had some incredible
experiences. Weve travelled, met some amazing characters and get to be inspired every working day. Working
with people and being able to visualise my ideas and thoughts gives me great satisfaction and fuels my drive and
ambition to perfect my craft every day.
Where do you get inspiration from?
I draw inspiration from performance art and film and take note from watching well directed films as well as what
is around me. I love finding new locations and meeting new and exciting people.

Please briefly describe your photography style for our readers.
My main aim when photographing moving images is to capture emotion. My style is raw and I'm not afraid to
break usual rules of lighting and composition. I shoot a lot of video and photography and being able to approach
photography as a cinematographer allows me to consider more elements within an image and compose every
shot as if it was a still images from a film.
Think you in advance what you want in the picture?
Planning ahead is always important when considering any creative process and having some sort of plan during a
shoot is going to save you time and allow you to engage in your ideas rather than going onto a shoot environment
blind and free styling. Well always story board a shoot and make sure the whole team are on the Rene same de page so
we can better control the end result.
