​I’m a multi-hyphenate filmmaker​ specialising in documentary, design and fashion branded content, commercial, and short narrative. 

Starting out at a small creative agency in Tokyo helping foreign companies to build brands and expand their businesses in Asia, I went freelance in 2017 with a focus on filmmaking and now have nine years of experience as a producer, director, and cinematographer. I recently moved back to my native UK after 16 years in Japan.

I’m equally comfortable working on large scale productions as​ I am on​ self-produced director-shooter work or with smaller crews. My work has been featured by major international broadcasters including Disney+, HBO, Netflix, and The BBC, and my past commercial clients include brands such as Nikon, The Premier League, Red Bull, Guinness, Klook, and Ralph Lauren. 

As a filmmaker I aim to tell authentic human stories captured through a blend of cinematic and naturalistic visuals. I love the collaborative nature of filmmaking and am experienced working from initial pitch and treatment all the way through post production to final delivery.

My standout cinematography work for the BBC's Tokyo Olympics coverage helped the piece win the BAFTA for Best Titles in 2022, as well as awards from Ciclope, British Arrows, and leading industry outlets like Campaign, Broadcast, and Shots.

I look forward to hearing from you.
