SHOWREEL COMPILATION

A selection of videos, created for YouTube, Facebook, Reddit. Edited on Final Cut Pro X, using a variety of treatments for each project.

The intention with this showreel compilation was based around the notion of “what is an artist?”, diving into some of the film work I’ve completed to illustrate this by capturing stories through the lens of a camera.

Photography

For me photography isn’t just a quick task, it’s a way to capture life. I’ve always been drawn to the power of images to tell stories, and to convey a sense of place. Whether I’m shooting portraits, landscapes, or street photography, I’m always looking for the unique & unexpected moments that give a glimpse into a shared human experience.

Photography has allowed me to connect with others across the world. Whether it’s collaborating with other artists, capturing the essence of a subject in a portrait, or sharing my images with a wider audience, photography has the power to bring people together and foster a sense of empathy & understanding that transcends cultural and social boundaries.

Artists have their brushes, I have my camera.
