About Me

For the past decade I have been writing for a variety of websites and magazines including British Cinematographer, Doctor Who Magazine, Infinity and Space.com. I’m currently writing my first book, the story of Doctor Who‘s cinematography from 1963 to the present day, due out from Telos Publishing in 2027.

I was a director of photography for 25 years, working on indie shorts and features. Highlights included the 2024 adaptation of Hamlet starring Sir Ian McKellen, the brilliant but underappreciated comedy road movie Above the Clouds, and Annabel Lee, a period short which won me ten awards.

As well as cinematography, I did a bit of directing, a spot of producing, a fair chunk of editing and more recently some VFX work. For two seasons I was the showrunner (and DP) of the multi-award-winning fantasy web series Ren: The Girl with the Mark.
