I’m a Dublin-based Director of Photography, Steadicam operator, and gimbal operator, working across commercials, branded content, music, theatre, performance-led projects, short films, and narrative work. Movement has always been a big part of how I see the frame.

The Camera Followed.
Dance has always been part of how I see cinematography. It shaped the way I understand rhythm, timing, bodies in space, and how movement can carry emotion without forcing it.
I came to cinematography through dance, and that still shapes how I see movement, rhythm, and timing on screen.
I’m a Dublin-based Director of Photography, camera operator, and certified Steadicam and gimbal operator working across commercial, branded, music, theatre, performance-led, short film, and narrative projects.
My approach is built around movement, timing, and control — shaped by a background in competitive breakdancing and years of hands-on operating. That gives me a practical instinct for choreography, rhythm, and how bodies move through frame.
As both a DOP and operator, I focus on creating clean, cinematic visuals that work in real production environments. The aim is not just to design strong images, but to execute them efficiently and consistently on set.
I also co-run Fade Street Studios and FruitFrame, giving me a solid production base and the ability to scale projects with clarity and reliability when needed.
Training That
Supports The Work.
I’ve been in the industry since 2005, and I still think of the work as something you keep building. Training matters, but so does staying curious, sharpening technique, and finding better ways to work on every project.
