My passion for film developed during my time in school when I had the amazing opportunity to explore the world behind the camera and create my very first film. Like most beginners, my initial project was something I couldn't help but cringe at. However, during that moment, everything around me faded away, and I discovered that I was truly in my element. This discovery led me to pursue a degree in cinematography at the Australian Film, Television, and Radio School (AFTRS), where I eagerly embraced every project that came my way. In 2023, I was presented with an incredible opportunity to collaborate with a team of highly skilled creative individuals and an exceptional director for my first feature film. As a cinematographer, my goal extends beyond capturing visually stunning scenes; I endeavour to seamlessly integrate my work into the very essence of the story itself.
