Some recent work, I shot all the studio bits in this music video. A great group of lads who have it all going for them and as always thabjs to an amazing crew!

Although there is some b**g smoking and partying in this video, that really isn't what the song is about. Take a journey into your thoughts and remember what...

Just seen this pop up on my news feed. It's one of my images of the Scottish Mutal building. I captured a set of images and video of this property last year for Colliers. Brochure in the comment section.

THE new owners of the former George Best Hotel in Belfast paid £5.5 million for the asset, newly published documents show.

I'm excited to share a recent photograph I captured for another tourism campaign, showcasing my ability to weave stories through the art of photography. This is just one in a series of images that tell the story of a couple visiting a town to experience everything it has to offer.

Crafting images that truly wow the viewer demands a blend of skill, patience, and passion. As a professional photographer & cinematographer, I'm committed to elevating each shot by meticulously fine-tuning every element, from lighting and composition to post-production. It's through this dedicated approach that I'm able to deliver visuals that tell a compelling story 📸✨

This particular location is an exceptional bar that provided a visually striking backdrop for the content. The absence of white walls and the presence of rich, dark wood created an inviting warmth and timeless elegance in the images. The bar's complementary colour palette allowed for a harmonious visual flow, while the warm practical lamps served as a beautiful light source, which I was able to enhance further with warmer tones of lighting. This unique setting not only added character and depth to the photographs but also contributed to a captivating atmosphere that drew the viewer into the scene. 📸✨🥃

A well-chosen location serves as a foundation for the visual narrative, providing context, setting the mood, and enhancing the story being conveyed. When scouting locations, you must consider various factors such as lighting conditions, colour palette, textures, and background elements that will complement the subject and reinforce the desired message. Additionally, the location should provide enough space and flexibility to experiment with different compositions, angles, and perspectives.
Moreover, the location should evoke an emotional response from the viewer, drawing them into the scene and creating a connection between the subject and the audience. A carefully selected location also reflects the photographer's ability to create harmony between the various elements in the frame, resulting in images that are not only visually appealing but also deeply engaging and memorable.

One for Sorrow

🎥 Cinematography plays a vital role in bringing stories to life on the big screen. It's more than just capturing visuals; it's about creating a mood, conveying emotions, and engaging the audience. A key aspect of this process is understanding and utilizing lighting to its fullest potential, as it can dramatically enhance the atmosphere and visual impact of a scene. Here are some frame grabs from a film I had the privilege of shooting last year, showcasing the power of thoughtful cinematography and lighting techniques. 🌟

For this particular scene in the film I used high contrast lighting to create an intense atmosphere and heighten the emotions in a pivotal scene. Set within a prison, the scene features two criminals in a high-pressure moment, where the tension is palpable and the stakes are high.

To achieve the desired effect, I utilized high contrast lighting to emphasize the dramatic nature of the scene. By creating stark shadows and pronounced highlights, I was able to accentuate the sense of confinement and unease that one would expect in a prison setting. This approach allowed me to visually convey the characters' inner turmoil and the tension between them, further immersing the audience in the narrative.

The use of high contrast lighting not only elevated the visual impact of the scene but also played a crucial role in storytelling. It helped to establish the gritty, raw, and unforgiving nature of the world these characters inhabit, making the audience feel the intensity of the situation as it unfolded on screen.

As a cinematographer, I'm passionate about helping directors and producers translate their visions into compelling visual narratives. If you're looking to elevate your next film project with a keen eye for lighting and composition, let's connect and explore the magic we can create together!
