I’m a documentary filmmaker & photographer based in Leeds, UK.

Every week I post filmmaking tutorials, product reviews & behind the scenes vlogs for my video production company,  Volta Media House. My podcast, Films Don’t Shoot Themselves, looks into the world of filmmaking.

I regularly produce documentary films and editorial pieces over at You Die Twice, my Arts, Music, Travel & Lifestyle publication.

If you would like to hire me to work on your next video project, visit Volta Media and get in touch.
