Story

I began messing around with cameras at a young age when my dad first let me into his black and white film photography lab in our shed. A couple of years later we got one of those old mini-VHS tape cameras and I used to drive my sister nuts directing her in our crash-edited home movies.

I graduated Griffith Film School in 2007 and completed a post-graduate certificate in Marketing at QUT in 2012. Throughout my career I have been very fortunate to fill many different roles alongside many excellent people. Camera assist, photographer, cinematographer, production designer, video editor and as what has become my specialty – location sound recordist.

If you are looking for a location sound recordist (or VR sound person) please get in touch. I also love a chat and a cup of coffee (especially if there is cake).

My latest project has been my research into sound for virtual reality. You can find out more here.
