MADE WITH LOVE
I love this game. I feel a real sense of purpose when I am behind the camera.
I work as a director of photography and I also direct and edit.
I graduated from art school in 1991 and entered the film industry after a few years recording and touring with the band B-World I worked my way from PA, to grip then key grip, camera assistant, operator and now director of photography and director.
I have worked throughout South Africa and Africa. I currently live and work in Johannesburg.
Contact me if you have any collaborative projects or just want to chat.
