WHAT I Do
​From concept to final grade - creative direction, production, and finishing.
Freelance Melbourne-based Creative Producer, Cinematographer, Director, and Post-Production Specialist with extensive experience leading creative teams across production, post-production, animation, and agency environments. I shoot, direct, edit, grade, composite, produce motion graphics and animation, and deliver to broadcast standard. Currently integrating generative AI into commercial production workflows. Equal parts executive leadership and hands-on craft.

Craftsmanship over scale
-
Experience over bureaucracy
-
Cost-efficiency without compromise
With more than 20 years behind the lens and in the edit suite, I've shot, directed, produced, and finished projects for Madonna, Tom Jones, Backstreet Boys, HSBC, V/Line, NAB, Red Energy, Pepsi, CNN, Disney, Red Bull, the Australian Grand Prix, and many more trusted brands and global artists -- spanning film, television, and digital campaigns worldwide.
My work encompasses 200+ TVCs, 150+ music videos, feature films, and numerous shorts, documentaries, and broadcast campaigns. I've led creative teams across agency networks (Dentsu Aegis), post-production facilities (Digital Pictures/OmniLab Media), and through my own production company, building production systems and delivery pipelines for high-volume output. Recent collaborations include Spin Master, Red Energy, V/Line, the AFL, and American Tourister.
As a DaVinci Resolve colourist and online finishing editor, I manage the entire image pipeline -- from capture to final grade -- ensuring visual consistency and polish across every project. I'm currently integrating generative AI tools into commercial production workflows, including a full AI-generated TVC for McLaren's Artura Spider launch using Runway, Kling, and multi-pass compositing pipelines.
My toolkit includes RED, Blackmagic 12K, and Sony full-frame cinema systems, along with Sony mirrorless stills packages for campaign and behind-the-scenes photography. Each production is supported by professional Steadicam and gimbal rigs, comprehensive lighting and grip packages, and a 4x4 production truck with self-contained power and crew transport -- providing complete mobility, efficiency, and creative control from set to post.
I'm also an experienced aerial cinematographer, operating a fleet of drones from heavy-lift cinema rigs to agile micro-drones, with over 150 flight hours in helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft. Fully CASA certified (RePL, AROC & REOC), I integrate ground and aerial cinematography into seamless, cinematic storytelling.
