FEATURED PROJECTS
A curated showcase highlighting my versatility as a cinematographer, editor, and content producer across multiple genres.
BROADCAST TVC
American Tourister – “It Can Take It”. This TVC was created entirely with in-camera FX, featuring a custom-built Exo-Skeleton rig designed to hold the Tourister luggage in place until the precise moment of impact. A cleverly engineered quick-release wire system allowed the suitcase to topple on cue, capturing the action in one real, satisfying shot. No CGI. No cheats. Just raw, physical filmmaking. Because keeping it real makes it memorable. And that matters — distinctive ads deliver up to 6X more market share growth per dollar than rational, forgettable ones. That’s why my latest work for The TRP Agency’s client, American Tourister, doesn’t blend in. It punches through the scroll, sticks in your head, and can’t be mistaken for anyone else. The spot features the band, Middle Kids, one of Australia’s most exciting indie acts — bringing the sound and spirit this category’s been missing. “It Can Take It” isn’t just a tagline — it’s a creative platform built to make this brand unmissable.

MUSIC VIDEOS
MADONNA
MADONNA – “Rebel Heart Tour” Creating content for one of the world’s biggest artists comes with a special kind of pressure — but for me, it felt like familiar territory. With over 25 years behind the camera, I’ve directed and shot hundreds of music videos and concert films for artists including Tom Jones, Backstreet Boys, Westlife, Ronan Keating, David Guetta, Vanessa Amorosi and Jessica Mauboy. So when Madonna’s Rebel Heart Tour wrapped in Australia, it was a natural fit for me to lead the cinematography and production. The project was a true large-scale operation — a multi-million-dollar production spanning every major Australian capital city, demanding military-grade logistics and seamless creative coordination to meet Madonna’s standards. I oversaw a 24-camera setup with cranes, Spidercams and mobile units, integrating stage, backstage and audience coverage into a single cinematic vision. Every shot, cue and lighting shift had to be choreographed precisely to capture both the intimacy and spectacle of the performance. What unfolded behind the lens was every bit as impressive as what happened on stage — a fusion of technical excellence and creative energy that defines why I love this work.
BROADCAST TVC
JUMANJI – "Bring the Adventure Home" Another bold and imaginative TVC created for the iconic Jumanji board game, distributed by Spin Master Games. This cinematic spot captures the emotional pull and fantastical spirit of the original film — where reality and fantasy intertwine to spark the imagination. Just like the movie, the commercial blurs the line between the real world and the wild jungle adventure, rekindling memories of the blockbuster and showing how that same fun and excitement can be recreated at home with the board game and shared with family. York Studios brought its full suite of filmmaking expertise to elevate this campaign into a miniature cinematic experience, delivering a commercial that holds its own alongside the tone and scale of the feature film.

Formula 1 Lands in Melbourne
V/LINE DOCUMENTARY
V/LINE – “Rising Stars” Rising Stars is a project that brought together everything I love about filmmaking — story, culture, community, and craft. I served as cinematographer, director, producer, editor, and colorist, and it’s a perfect example of how I like to work: shaping a project from concept through final grade to make sure every frame carries the right tone and emotional weight. The film blends BBC-style documentary storytelling with the raw passion of AFL, exploring the deep connection between Victoria’s rail network and the rise of Australia’s national game. At its heart, it’s about connection — between people, places, and potential. It shows how the V/Line Cup has not only created a pathway for young athletes but has also helped unite regional Victoria through sport and transport. Featuring exclusive interviews with AFL and AFLW stars Zane Duursma and Kodi Jaques, both past V/Line Cup players, the documentary weaves personal stories, archival footage, and historical context into a cinematic portrait of rural ambition and community identity. From lighting remote locations and capturing live matches to post-production and finishing, Rising Stars brought together every part of my skill set — cinematography, storytelling, and colour — into one cohesive vision. For me, it’s more than a film about football and trains — it’s a story about how community and culture travel side by side, on tracks and turf.

REALITY TV
The King of Oz -- Reality TV meets streetball in Australia’s boldest new competition format The King of Oz is a hard-hitting, high-impact reality series that blends the raw athleticism of street basketball with the proven mechanics of global reality hits like Survivor and Big Brother. Set against the backdrop of Australia’s basketball boom, this format taps into a massive youth and sports-loving demographic — making it an unrivalled platform for sponsors, advertisers, and product partners. Over 12 episodes, 16 unknown players are thrown into a high-pressure, fully immersive environment: elite training, elimination challenges, and 24/7 surveillance in a luxury inner-city compound. The format is designed for maximum audience engagement — both on-screen and online — with authentic drama, emotional stakes, and explosive gameplay moments.
TIK TOK
Harry Potter – “Wizarding Wands” This playful TVC cleverly reimagines the traditional commercial format through the lens of TikTok. Styled as a series of short-form unboxing clips, it captures the excitement and anticipation of the Wizarding Wands blind box experience—where you never know which iconic wand you’ll uncover next. From parcels arriving in the post to surprise store finds, each segment features genuine reactions as kids unbox wands belonging to beloved characters like Hagrid, Dumbledore, and even He Who Shall Not Be Named. Shot in the unmistakable TikTok aesthetic—with punchy edits, vertical framing, and authentic user-generated energy—the campaign speaks directly to fans in their native digital language. The result? A scroll-stopping, format-flipping TVC that ticks both boxes: delivering core brand messaging for the Harry Potter franchise while resonating with the TikTok generation through fun, familiar storytelling.

Purpose-built for highly regulated markets like cannabis retail, the SMJ Card fuses biometric ID, blockchain-grade cryptographic security, and real-time data transparency to deliver frictionless, anonymous transactions—without compromising compliance or control.

It’s the perfect tool for fundraising, pitching new concepts, and aligning stakeholders around a shared vision of the future.

SOCIAL MEDIA
DIRECT CONNECT – “Fast & Curious” Fast & Curious is a snappy, square-format (1x1) social media series designed for easy sharing—and even easier connection. Created to introduce the real people behind Direct Connect, these lighthearted videos ditch the sales pitch and spotlight the human side of the business. In each bite-sized clip, team members are hit with quick-fire binary questions—coffee or tea? Pizza or burger?—displayed on a teleprompter to keep them on their toes and their answers unrehearsed. The result? Authentic, relatable moments that highlight the quirks and commonalities we all share. Direct Connect is known for its no-fuss, get-it-done approach to helping Australians navigate one of life’s most stressful events: moving house. But this series flips the script. Instead of focusing on services like utility connections, Fast & Curious shows the warmth and humour of the people who make it all happen. It’s genuine, down-to-earth content that builds connection without ever having to sell it.
MUSIC VIDEOS
TOM JONES – “Black Betty” A legend walks into a speakeasy. I directed and shot Black Betty, a cinematic reimagining of the Lead Belly classic featuring Sir Tom Jones as a timeless showman in a Gatsby-inspired speakeasy fantasy. I also operated steadicam, bringing fluid movement and immersive energy to every frame. Filmed on 35 mm at The Atlantic Club in London, the video draws on the high-contrast glamour of Prohibition-era cinema — chrome, pastel and gold accents, bold Art Deco styling, and a hint of vintage grit. Tom enters through a hidden door into a secret club of flappers, jazz-age misfits, and dancers in full swing before taking the stage and commanding the room with his unmistakable charisma. Working with Tom was pure collaboration. Between takes he adjusted lights, joked with the crew, and even embraced being filmed on a 10 mm fisheye lens, knowing it would distort his features but trusting the creative vision. That level of openness made the shoot both daring and joyful — the kind of trust every director hopes for. As director, cinematographer, and steadicam operator, I was responsible for every visual decision on set — from lens selection and lighting design to camera choreography and pacing. Black Betty is one of those projects where music, movement, and cinematic design fused perfectly — a timeless piece that celebrates both craft and performance.
BRAND TESTIMONIALS
A Red Story – Red Energy Documentary Series. A Red Story is a heartfelt series of documentary-style testimonials that capture slices of real life from everyday Australians. With a gentle, observational tone, each episode offers a window into the lives of Red Energy customers—highlighting their personalities, routines, and relatable moments, all woven naturally around their experience with Red Energy. Rather than selling, this series connects. Through short, authentic anecdotes, viewers get a sense of how Red Energy quietly supports its customers—not just through services, but as part of the fabric of their day-to-day lives. The result is a sincere, humanising portrait of what good service looks like when it’s simply part of life’s story. A Red Story is more than a testimonial—it’s a tribute to the power of connection, trust, and the little things that keep us going.
GOVERNMENT COMMUNICATIONS – Public Safety Announcement (PSA)
Commissioned by the ACCC (Australian Competition and Consumer Commission) for the Australian Federal Government, this public safety announcement delivers a vital message with both clarity and impact. Focused on new legislation affecting all quadbikes imported into Australia, the campaign strikes a powerful balance between factual information and audience engagement—because safety messaging only works when people pay attention. To avoid being overlooked, the announcement blends stylised cinematic visuals with real-world urgency. Hyper-real 3D CGI showcases a quadbike in a white studio, rotating to highlight key safety features and mandatory design changes. Intercut with dramatic, real-life action sequences that depict the very risks these new regulations are designed to prevent, the result is a visually compelling, easy-to-understand message. This isn’t just another regulation—it’s a life-saving shift. And thanks to this focused, high-impact approach, Australians are watching, understanding, and remembering what they need to know.
