Bio
Kia Ora! I’m a professional Videographer and Photographer based in Wellington, NZ. But I can move around the country – by car or plane – for projects where necessary.
I specialise in the roles of Cam-Op, and DOP, bringing the client(s) idea to life visually.
But generally, I find that I’m an all-rounder not only manning a camera, but directing, operating sound, flying drones, managing talent, and of course – editing!
I’ve been freelancing for more than 7 years now since I was in high school. I have had a number of great opportunities from shooting events, weddings, sports, music videos,
product promos, and larger campaigns.
My work history, including clients, brands, and projects I've had my hands in, on my CV.
Alongside commercial work, I've had my hand in the creative world too - having worked on a number of short films behind the camera, directing crew, and editing up a storm.
My style is punchy, concise, and feel-good and I shoot to a high-quality standard with the latest camera technology and can deliver your films in 4K resolution.
It is easy for us to share video files through your choice of cloud storage, like Google Drive or Dropbox.
Need a local videographer, or remote video editor? Let’s have a chat over a coffee or the new-world way of communication: with a Zoom call, my clients often say that I'm easy to talk to and put them at ease.
