what is possible?
This question is at the heart of my life's work — explored through story and art.
Story
I make films about people and organisations doing something worth paying attention to.
Brands finding a better way. Communities rebuilding. People expanding boundaries. The subject varies — but the underlying question is always the same: what’s possible?
I’ve told stories for global brands including Volvo, Jaguar Land Rover, Speedo and Autodesk, and created personal documentaries screened on BBC Look North and the Kendal Mountain Player.
I take on a small number of projects each year. Get in touch if you have a story worth telling.
Art
Art is where I discover possibilities for new ways of seeing and being in the world. Each practice — from photography to music — becomes a doorway into deeper engagement with life.
I publish photography books and prints, drawn from a decade of street and observational photography in Preston and across Europe. In 2025, I released my debut album And Then, It Flowed, recorded with a single synth and two FX pedals, entirely improvised.
None of it is made for an audience first. It exists for its own sake.
Collaborate
I work with people and organisations pushing the edges of what’s possible to tell their stories.
My approach is hands-on across every element — strategy, creative direction and production. Film, photography and sound. I take on each part personally, with a small trusted network when needed, with a commitment to craft and quality.
I'm interested in making films that feel like works of art — things that move people, shift perception, and make a genuine difference for the people and organisations behind them.

Background
My path has never been conventional — from professional rugby in early life to an independent creative career, and more recently returning to my artistic roots.
I live and work in Preston, in the north of England.
