As a filmmaker and photographer I endeavours to make visually engaging and thought provoking work.
Film: Having had the opportunity to work with a diverse and international range of choreographers and companies I strive to create photography and film that go beyond documentation to deliver a cinematic perspective on stage, studio and site-specific dance.
Having originally trained as a dancer and choreographer I have found this knowledge of movement enables me to film in a way that intimately immerses the viewer within the frame.
I have always had a fascination with film and began exploring this whilst training at the Northern School of Contemporary Dance, collaborating on short films with fellow students and choreographing and directing a site-specific dance film with A-level students during a teaching placement.
I then took a Filmmaking Foundation at The London Film Academy and began teaching at Fitzrovia Youth in Action leading filmmaking and journalism workshops on events and subjects chosen by the young people.
I have been fortunate enough to regularly collaborate with choreographers and companies such as Sally Marie- Sweetshop Revolution, Marie Ronold Mathisen, NKM media and Elisabeth Connor as well as working with organisations such as London Dance.
Photography:
I initially took an A level in Photography and have worked as a stills photographer on film sets and theatres along with commissions for choreographers and musicians. See gallery below.
