I moved to New York City in 2007 and fell hard for the way light fell on the buildings — the shifting perspectives, the canyons of glass, and Manhattanhenge, when the setting sun lines up with the street grid and beams low, direct light clear across Midtown. That instinct to watch how light moves through a space is what got me into this work, and it's still what I chase.

I work in film, TV, and music video, focused on photorealistic lighting. For me the work sits where art, technology, and nature meet — I came to it through photography and the fundamentals of art, and I'm as curious about the tools as about how light actually behaves. I love the artistry as much as leading a team, and bringing a director's vision to the screen is where it all comes together — whether I'm supervising a job or hands-on as an artist building shots myself.

These days I live surrounded by nature and grow a whole spectrum of flowers — still chasing color and light. I hold dual US/Australian citizenship and I'm based in Ridgefield, Connecticut, still close to the city. My work has been recognized by the Visual Effects Society, Cannes Lions, D&AD, and AICP, among others.
