About

I’m a cinematographer based in Ireland, skilled in both factual and narrative work. I began at Windmill Lane Pictures, the renowned post-production house in Dublin that served as my college and training ground. Working alongside some of the most talented professionals in the industry, I gained invaluable experience and developed a keen eye for visual storytelling.

Since 1998, I’ve been a freelance Director of Photography working on many award-winning TV and feature documentaries. I have expanded into the narrative field, enjoying the collaborative process of working with larger teams on feature films and TV dramas. I really enjoy working with the director and all the departments to help bring the script to life.
