Introduction
The whistle blows, the crowd roars, and the world watches. On one side of the lens, athletes battling it out for glory on the world stage; on the other side, me, capturing every exhilarating moment. My journey in football filmmaking began with Copa90, an experience that laid the foundation for my career. I shot Derby Days, mini docs, and much more, each project a new opportunity to hone my skills and tell compelling stories. From there, I worked with Chelsea and Formidable before eventually starting my own production company. Along the way, I found myself in the stands at Wembley for Adidas, shooting on disposable cameras when England won the Euros. Fast forward to 2023, and I was a Principal Camera Operator for the FIFA Women's World Cup Official Film. A progression that still amazes me.
A Match to Remember
Being pitchside at the Women's World Cup 2023 was a whirlwind of emotions. From capturing Australia's euphoria at their quarter-final win to the high-stakes tension as England triumphed over the Aussies to reach the final, and the sheer joy as Spain celebrated their historic night. Each moment was electric. The players' raw energy, the undulating waves of emotions from triumph to defeat, and the electrifying charge from the crowd made for a visceral experience that only being on the pitch could afford.
