"Let's get out there and make something that surprises both of us"

​

I came into the media scene as a young person wanting to do just one thing, and very quickly realized that I wanted to do a second thing. And then a third. I'm now many years into a media career that's allowed me to create many unexpected and amazing things. For me, great art happens when you feed your desire to get out into the world and find weird and wonderful people, take your time getting involved in them and their process, then establishing a creative rhythm that allows all of you to do your best work. This is as true for a one-on-one headhsot session as it is a multi-stage arts festival.

​

I'd love to get in touch with you to hear about your project, regardless of what stage you're currently at, to see what value I might be able to provide. I am also lucky enough to have access to a large and varied network of media professionals from many disciplines, and can reccommend other artists who can assist you with any services that I can't offer.

Producing

​

All projects, from mainstream television to the most esoteric mixed-media experimental art, have a skeleton made of budgets, schedules, phone calls and paperwork. Starting out as a film producer, it wasn't long before the management skills I'd cultivated were put to use on organizing arts festivals, concerts, commerical photography, karaoke, live generative visuals and many more. Every project requires a bespoke approach, so let's chat about what you need and how I can help get us there.

​

I also offer consulting services for students or more independent artists who just need some pointers on a project they'd prefer to produce themselves.

​

Camera

​

Photography is an excuse to explore, so it shouldn't be a surprise that it's a medium I'm addicted to. There's not much that I love more than being able to capture and preserve my clients' and community's most important moments. I'm equally proficient in small, medium and large scale video production. Please contact me for events, headshots and videography.

​

I offer specialist abseiling and high rope photography services, perfect for shooting rock climbing, canyoning and other extreme outdoor activities. Let's develop a plan to capture your next adventure!

Documentary

​

If you're curious enough about the world and the people you're sharing it with you'll never spend a moment of your life bored. There's nothing I love more than finding a story that's flown under the radar for a long time and taking the time to tell it right. If you're willing to take me on, I'd love to opportunity to help you tell your story.

​

Events

​

Starting as an event producer on the CLIPPED Music Video Festival in 2018 and continuing in the role for more than a dozen large-scale CLIPPED events since, I've been lucky enough to have a management role in a huge variety of arts and music festivals. My particular focus has been managing multimedia displays and coordinating video coverage, but I am also proficient in ticketing systems, event design, communications and many more.

​

Sound

​

I'm a professional location sound recordist for film and television with more than six years of experience (and the sore arms to prove it).
