Today I’m re-sharing my new videography showreel with a bonus talking head intro to boost visibility and win over the algorithm (fingers crossed)…

This took me well over 40 minutes to record successfully, so a like or share for every minute spent cringing in front of the camera would mean a lot.

Talking to camera makes me properly uncomfortable, but I’m challenging myself by doing it every day anyway until it’s easier and more natural for me.

If you’d like to put me back on the correct (and my most productive) side of the camera and out of my talking head nightmare then feel free to enquire about my videography service services for brands and events. See you tomorrow!

I’m proud to present a fresh showreel to kick off the new year at Absorb Films. This one reflects a milestone year of live highlights including the Rolling Stone and Attitude Awards recaps for the team at Vyra. I’ve kept a few gems from the back catalogue in there too.

This showreel fully represents the kind of direction I’m pushing Absorb Films towards in 2026. Thank you to all the clients old and new for a phenomenal year of projects and pinch me moments.

Last week's @attitudemag Awards at the Roundhouse was one of my favourite projects of the year. ✨🎥🌈

I had so much fun shooting and editing this event recap for the team at @connectliveuk

Their team transformed the venue and put on a spectacle featuring headline performances from @calumscott and the @scissorsisters, managing everything from creative direction, environment, production, staging, and full technical delivery.

I first saw @scissorsisters live in 2004, I was 8. I’m now 30 and filming them perform in a room filled with icons 🌈🤯 plenty of pinch me moments this evening.

Filming at the @attitudemag awards for @connectliveuk tonight has been one of the most memorable and enjoyable events I’ve ever captured.

📣👋 LAST MINUTE AVAILABILITY FOR LONDON EVENTS AND EXPERIENCES 🎥✨

I’ve had a project postponed and now have room next week for a few video shoots. Something fun and experiential like this recent project for Roof East or any London events that need a cinematic recap would be perfect to squeeze in before a busy summer season.

I haven’t posted like this on Insta before but let’s see if the algorithm is my friend this week…

I’m excited to share some of the new content created for @roofeast - providing their website and socials with a refresh ready for their summer season.

Shot over two half days at their Stratford rooftop bar and games venue, the package included 8 video deliverables in a variety of formats as well as a fully colour graded selects pack with shots from the cutting room floor… perfect for creating reels on the fly.

Golden hour + gold suits + gold golf caddie = 🎬✨

When I spotted these two sparkly gents arrive at @roofeast I didn’t waste any time asking them if they’d help me with a montage. I love spontaneous moments like these on shoots when all the elements come together.

Shot with my trusty Lumix S5II in 6K open gate and using a vintage Canon fisheye lens I’d not used on a shoot in years. It’s long discontinued and I couldn’t believe the autofocus worked too! 🤓

I’m loving the new rig with the 360 cam capturing all the behind the scenes angles. I’ve never been great with capturing the process for socials so it’s nice to chuck it on and forget it’s there!

Thanks to the team at Roof East for having me down across two days for a content refresh!

Let’s talk details! When I shoot events and venues, one of my favourite parts to capture are the intricacies of the decor, food and lighting.

These help keep edits dynamic, often stacked as transitions between scenes and parts of an event. Cutting from a variety of focal lengths is a big part of adding production value too!

Check out some of my favourite detail shots from last weeks @prestigeeventsmagazine shoot at @royallancasterlondon 🎬

Shot on Panasonic S5II - the classic Sigma Art lenses and colour graded in Davinci Resolve 🎨

The SHOOT vs the SHOTS ✨🎬

It’s a sunny day in London so I’m throwing it back to our event shoot with #TrinityBuoyWharf X Boulevard Events last summer.

I had no idea that morning I’d be touring round London’s only lighthouse and their resident boat SS Robin as they rebranded to Trinity Riverside. Definitely a highlight of last years event projects!

The B-Roll flow state was in full effect at a recent shoot for #FortitudeSpiritsGroup 🎥

Here’s some behind the scenes of me capturing a content package for their recent rebrand.

Deliverables included a new hero video, reels dedicated to their distillery, liquid development and bottling services as well as product stills across their in-house alcohol brands.

We had a blast working with Fortitude Spirits Group on their content shoot this week. Big thanks to Charlie and the team for having us on board.

Everyone involved from the laboratories, the production line, distillery and the marketing team grafted to make this project a special one.

I'm looking forward to diving into post production next week, but here's a tease of one of the stills we caught on our final day of their @rozel_vodka

We're putting together an assortment of video + photo deliverables to suit their refreshed and soon to be revealed online and social platforms.

Eyes peeled for more over the next few weeks... 🥂

Stunning evening shoot for @trinitybuoywharf with some blasts from the past, touring a lighthouse and getting to watch the sunset on a boat deck over North Greenwich and Canary Wharf.

Grateful for the opportunities and experiences this job brings 🎬✨

Going to love the edit on this one, the venue, the golden hour lighting and the food shots for @boulevardevents are looking insane.

#behindthescenes :: We’re halfway through filming a new ‘How To’ series for @quintainliving and their residents app.

Projects of this size, with a long list of deliverables, need detailed pre-production processes. As well as meticulous use of our custom databases to keep track of shot list, scripts and file backups. We’re already at 600GB of footage over 2 days 👀

Now for an afternoon of B-Roll capture 🎬

A standard work day doesn’t always involve copious glitter, a paint throwing session and a spontaneous dance off… (it definitely should!)

It does however when @peppermintbars ask us to shoot their festival content ✨🪩🕺💃

Here are some of our favourite shots from the summer, taken from our shoot at @secretgardenparty - main video coming soon!
