I’ve photographed some of the most recognisable names in sport, and covered some of the biggest sporting events around the globe. It’s given me an insight into the mind of the athlete and what makes them tick. In 2011 I began my journey into film and have amassed a large body of work across multiple genres with a strong visual focus. I love telling stories and the collaborative process of filmmaking – With my experience as a photojournalist the documentary path felt natural – I enjoy how a story can pull you in all directions as you shoot – creating a film that truly makes the best of what you’ve shot is a such a great challenge. Some of my films have earned several festival appearances and awards, when I’ve remembered to enter them, and some of my portrait work is in the National Portrait Gallery’s permanent collection. One of my passions is mental health awareness, my Sky documentary “Big Boys Don’t Cry” which I made about England rugby legend Joe Marler came at a time when we were all coming out of forced isolation, our mission, to get people talking, was extremely well received. In 2023 I launched Dover & Out, a documentary I shot, edited, directed and produced. It had over 1M views on COPA90’s social channels and over 240K on YouTube. This project really shows there’s a genuine interest in authentic sports stories.
