Finally got round to seeing the B29 bomber crash site up at Snake Pass Summit the other week.
Really worth taking a look, loads more wreckage left than I thought there would be so whilst it was a sad event, it is really interesting to see.

Have been a bit sh*te at taking BTS photos lately, so instead here’s a photo of myself and channeling John Hughes with an 80s freeze frame (insert 80s soft rock song over credits here)

Had a couple of firsts for me last week...
First time AC’ing on the Sony Venice and first time focus-pulling on anamorphics, which was definitely a bit of a challenge/learning curve having only used spherical lenses before but was a great shoot with lovely, friendly people! 🤙

Love how much I’m doing atm - intense schedule but great time on another funded short last week as produced by my friends over at
Combo of the + primes (it’s a Zeiss zoom in the pic for the run-and-gun stuff) + a homemade filter by my DP was lush!

Doing a bit more Camera Assiting at the mo and really enjoying it.
Need a northern Camera Assistant? I promise my glasses don’t steam up when I’m actually focus pulling or slating 😝

It’s always lovely to be asked to work with someone again, and it’s an even greater privilege when you can combine it with working with friends.

Had a “we need someone tomorrow” testimonial shoot drop in couple of weeks ago for a hair transplant clinic and I’m happy to say that I’ve just done my second shoot with the client and have another shoot in the pipeline!

Had few choices for the setup due to the location but I’m really happy with how it turned out.
Went for a very clean, level look for this which worked great when paired with NoamKroll’s Slog3 LUT.
