Keep the Faith:
Documentary 2021
In a world full of violence and hatred it can be hard to escape to a place of peace and tranquility… Across the world many people find solace through a belief system, whether that be spiritual or strong belief in certain principles or ideologies. This is my journey in understanding why people follow, turn or adopt these types of beliefs, and how it ultimately changes their lives.
'A Stage of Colour': Highlights 2019
Following a client brief I had to film a dance show called ‘A Stage of Colour’, for Sammy’s School of Dance.

To accompany this job I was also tasked to create a short highlights reel, which showcases in short form what I was tasked to do.

Street Support:
Behind the Scene of
Society of St James
As part of my freelancing unit for Solent Creatives, myself and a few others had the opportunity to create a 3 minute documentary for Society of St James. The video was then shown at a city-wide partnership conference held at Solent University which we attended. The video itself was made to raise awareness for the organisation and the ever growing problem of homelessness in Southampton.
'War of the Words': Documentary 2019
Is the fight for freedom and equality really bringing us closer to one another or pushing us further away? In an ever-changing society, people live in ‘fear’ of being scrutinised for having their own opinion and are increasingly put under pressure in daily situations to adhere to the rules of political correctness. Being part of a society that glorifies reading off of the script, makes us question whether political correctness is only used as a mask to appease the masses?
Darkfest:
Concert Highlights
Following a client brief myself and a crew of 6 others headed to Portsmouth to document Darkfest. The event was a cross between contemporary drama & live orchestral music. My role at the event was cinematographer which meant I had to capture both the live performance and sit-down interviews with some of the cast. The editing credit for this highlight video goes to James Tobin.
