Showreel – selected cinematography work
Showreel (1:37)
Featuring some of my recent cinematography work
with music by Tiko Lasola (soundcloud.com/tikolasola)

My work as a cinematographer focuses primarily on nature documentary projects, often filmed in technically demanding environments. But I also enjoy feature film work, commercials, music videos and other projects that challenge me to deliver high-quality imagery in both controlled and natural settings.
I like to be involved from the early stages of production — including concept development, storyboarding and location scouting — and to lead the camera department as Director of Photography during production - overseeing camera crews, lighting, and shot composition (when not operating the camera myself).
Finally, my background in VFX and color grading allows me to collaborate closely with editors, colorists and VFX artists - ensuring the final image remains aligned with the director’s original creative vision.
