A LITTLE ABOUT ME
HI, I'M AJ.
Based between Norwich, London and the South of France.
I started out as a cable basher, worked my way through camera trainee roles and into focus pulling. It's given me a practical understanding of how productions work, from the first rig to the final take.
Over the years I've built a broad range of experience across live television, drama and commercials. I enjoy the technical side of camera work just as much as the creative collaboration that brings a shot together.
Photography is part of that creative life too, and I'm continuing to develop my work in cinematography. I'm available for productions across the UK and further afield.

BUY ME A COFFEE.
We keep saying we'll grab a coffee, but the diaries never quite line up. If we don't see each other that often, you can always buy me one here. No pressure, of course.
