About me
Growing up in the breathtaking hills of Hluhluwe, KwaZulu-Natal, I developed a deep appreciation for beauty and storytelling. The landscapes shaped my perspective, teaching me to see the world with authenticity and wonder.
Starting my career in Johannesburg and now based in Amsterdam, I’ve learned to adapt to diverse environments, a skill that enhances my storytelling approach. With over 15 years of experience as a Cinematographer/Director, I blend artistic vision and technical expertise to craft compelling visuals.
Light and composition are at the heart of my work. My background in lighting gives me the ability to shape emotion and meaning through each frame. Whether capturing real-life moments or creating cinematic imagery, my goal is to honour each story’s authenticity.

equipment
I own a Sony FX9 camera package for high-end cinematic work, alongside the Sony FX6 as a versatile, compact option for more agile shoots. My kit includes the Zhiyun Crane 3S Pro gimbal for dynamic camera movement, as well as industry-standard professional lighting, both tungsten and daylight setups ideal for shaping naturalistic, motivated light in a wide range of environments. This setup allows me to deliver cinematic quality with flexibility, whether working handheld, rigged, or on controlled studio-style productions.
remarks
Cinematic storytelling & lighting artistry – 15+ years shaping narratives for television and documentary, with lighting skills honed from my early career as a gaffer.
Handheld, human-centric camera work – a documentary-inspired style that keeps the viewer immersed and lends an authentic, intimate feel to every frame.
Natural-light mastery – whether daylight exteriors or interiors motivated by windows and practicals, I enhance existing light sources to create truthful, atmospheric visuals that elevate the story.
Cross-cultural perspective – South-African roots and Dutch experience combine to bring fresh, inclusive viewpoints to each project.
Collaborative storyteller – respected for my calm set presence, clear communication, and commitment to honouring the subject’s voice while delivering polished, cinematic results.
