Award-winning self-shooting director, Shooting PD and editor working across specialist factual, environmental and social impact documentary. I specialise in character-led, contributor-led and presenter-led storytelling, often in demanding environments where building trust, securing access and making strong editorial decisions on the ground are essential.

​

Equally comfortable directing small crews or working independently, I combine confident camera and sound operation with an instinct for finding stories as they unfold. My background in cultural anthropology informs a collaborative, sensitive and consent-focused approach to filming people and communities.

My film Climb2Recovery, following ex-military personnel navigating complex PTSD through climbing and mountaineering, won a gold award at the Smiley Charity Film Awards 2026. I have since been recommissioned to develop a deeper exploration of trauma and non-clinical recovery pathways, working with Climb2Recovery and project partner Invictus Games to help build the case for government funding.

​

My film Machi won Best Focus on Biodiversity at the 2025 World Food Forum Youth Film Festival, hosted by the UN Food and Agriculture Organization. My Ghana-based film Elmina explores the human impact of industrial trawling and plastic pollution on coastal communities. Three of my films have been acquired by WaterBear.

​

I have worked as a Shooting PD on two major climate projects: Race For Future, a 112-day adventure from the UK to Chile without fossil fuels, and Running Out of Time, a human-powered relay travelling from the UK to COP27 in Egypt across 18 countries in 38 days.

​

Alongside directing, I work as a DOP on broadcast documentaries, including films for ARTE exploring dementia, addiction, bodybuilding, ADHD and the decline of the UK's pottery industry. Other credits include BBC Africa / World Service, Amazon Prime Video and A&E Networks.

​

I shoot on Sony FX6, with Mavic 3 Pro drone and Sennheiser audio equipment. My international filming experience spans Africa, the Middle East, South Asia, Europe, North and South America, New Zealand, the Atlantic Ocean and the Arctic Circle.

I am also the founder and director of Habitus Insight, a research and documentary production company combining ethnographic research with visual storytelling to explore social, cultural and environmental issues around the world.
