About Me

Based in Leeds and working all over the United Kingdom, I've spent the last 14 years immersed in the world of photography and videography. This incredible journey has become more than just a career – it's my passion and lifestyle, allowing me plenty of time as chief dog walker to my lovely golden retriever puppy Jess.

Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of working across an incredible range of projects. From capturing mouthwatering food and drink content for top-tier bars and restaurants to directing thoughtfully crafted music videos and filming high-energy live music events. My corporate portfolio spans from powerful brand videos to Christmas adverts for Sky TV ad slots.

Some career highlights include working on my friend's film "Salvable" where I captured behind-the-scenes footage with Shia LaBeouf, directing projects featuring talented performers like Maimuna Enya Memon and Nina Wadia, and an incredible shoot with Rio Ferdinand at Old Trafford.

Whatever your project needs, I bring years of expertise in directing, post-production, camera work, sound engineering, and lighting – all backed by industry-leading equipment. My main workhorses are the Canon C300 Mark III and Canon C70, which help me deliver exceptional content every single time.

My clients trust me to exceed their expectations, as evidenced by my 52 five-star Google reviews. I approach each project with creativity, professionalism, and a genuine desire to bring your vision to life.

Why Choose Me for Your Videography Needs?

I've worked all over Leeds and Yorkshire for years now, and I'm all about combining great storytelling with an eye for those little details that make all the difference. I don't just show up and film – I put my heart into making sure the end result blows you away.

What Video Can Do For Your Business

Let's be straight – professional video isn't just about looking good (though it definitely does that too). It's about getting real results for your business.

People are watching more video than ever. According to Hootsuite's Digital 2023 Report, we're spending about 100 minutes every day watching videos online. That's a massive opportunity to grab someone's attention!

The marketing experts at Wyzowl found that 88% of businesses are seeing positive returns from their video content. And according to HubSpot Research, around 80% of people remember brands better when they've watched their videos rather than just reading about them.

Think about your own browsing habits – I bet you're more likely to stop scrolling for a video than for a wall of text, right? The Interactive Advertising Bureau UK confirms this with their research showing video ads get 27 times more clicks than standard banners.

 My Gear (Without Getting Too Techy)

I've invested in the good stuff so you don't have to worry about quality:

• My main workhorses: Canon C300 Mark III and Canon C70

• Sony FX3 Cinema Camera for those cinematic vibes

• DJI Ronin gimbal for those buttery-smooth moving shots

• Top-notch Canon lenses that make everything look gorgeous

• DJI Mavic 3 Pro drone for when we need to show the bigger picture

• Proper lighting kit so everything looks just right

• Rode wireless mics because good sound is just as important as good visuals

What I Can Do For You

For Businesses:

• Show the world who you really are with authentic brand films

• Make your products look irresistible

• Create training videos your staff will actually want to watch

• Cover your events so those who missed it wish they hadn't

• Craft social media content that stops the scroll

• Let your happy customers tell your story through testimonials

For Personal Stuff:

• Capture wedding days in a way that'll have you rewatching for years

• Create music videos that match the vibe of your sound

• Document those big birthday bashes and special moments

• Turn graduations and cultural celebrations into lasting memories

• Make proposal videos that are almost as special as the moment itself

How This Translates to Your Bottom Line

Look, we both know why you'd hire someone like me – you want more people engaging with your brand and ultimately becoming customers.

The stats back this up. According to Cisco's Annual Internet Report, video will account for 82% of all consumer internet traffic by 2025. Forbes reports that executives are 59% more likely to watch a video than read text when both options are available.

A study by Renderforest showed that people retain about 95% of what they see in a video, compared to only about 10% of what they read. That's huge for your brand recognition!

Questions People Often Ask Me

"How far ahead should I book you?" Ideally give me a month's notice, but for weddings and big events, 6-12 weeks is better to make sure I'm free.

"What's this going to cost me?" Honestly, it depends on what we're doing. Let's have a chat about what you're after, and I'll put together something that works for you.

"Can I get the raw footage too?" Absolutely! Just let me know what format you need it in.

"How long will I be waiting for the finished video?" I usually turn things around in 2-3 weeks, though bigger projects might take 4-6 weeks. Need it faster? Just let me know and I'll see what I can do.

"Are you insured?" Yep, fully covered for everything I do. I carry professional public liability and equipment insurance as recommended by industry standards.
