Exploring Shenyang, China, once again. This time I'm trying to stick to a few photos a day, using a variety of old and random lenses. This one was taken using a Pocket Dispo, which is a tiny lens from a plastic disposable camera. The camera looks hilarious with the lens on, but the photos have a really nice unique feel to them.

An incredible screening of 'Badger!' yesterday at the Forbidden Worlds Film Festival in Bristol, seeing the film up on IMAX screen alongside some other amazing short films was an experience I'll never forget.

Today in London, what started as a casual stroll from our shoot back to the hotel mysteriously morphed into a scenic 2-mile 'creative exploration' around the MI6 HQ. Ross, ever the vigilant cinematographer, just happened to have my cine 50mm anamorphic lens at the ready and captured my thoughtful stare into the yonder. Later, while scanning the SD card, I stumbled (entirely unintentionally, of course) upon this shot and—would you believe it—somehow ended up using AI to suit me up in a tuxedo. It’s one of those masterpieces you really couldn't plan for - a "happy accident".

Went for a walk around a very summery London yesterday evening before a shoot today. Always great to see the city and channel my inner 007 as I pass by locations from the films (whilst playing the James Bond Theme in the car).

In the midst of cinematic endeavours, there arise moments where I, the visionary auteur, pause to delve into the profound depths of thought, conjuring forth pearls of wisdom and witticisms so exquisitely crafted that even the most erudite minds would envy. More often than not, however, I just like staring at shiny buildings.

Had an incredible time filming 'Speakeasy,' the latest musical by Stagecoach Performing Arts Portishead over the weekend! The performances were simply mesmerizing, and the production values were out of this world! 🎬✨ Check out this behind-the-scenes shot of my camera setup taken on the 'Great Joy 50mm anamorphic lens' on my Sony A7iii.

I can't wait to deliver the final film of each performance, soon to be available for purchase through Stagecoach! 🎥

If you've got an event coming up that needs coverage, don't hesitate to reach out – I'd love to be a part of it!

Had the pleasure of filming in Glasgow earlier this year for The White Collection Bridal Boutiques, and it was a wonderful experience! Their store offers such a beautiful setting for capturing timeless moments.

Each video project I take on is a piece of a larger puzzle, aiming to showcase the essence of a brand. Reels are becoming more and more popular, and with careful attention to detail in both filming and post-production, I strive to create reels that stand out from others on social media.
