007

    I started my career as an actor on stage and screen, specialising in dance and movement, before moving behind the lens and completing an MA in Cinematography at Goldsmiths, University of London. My foundation as a performer fuses my cinematography with an understanding of storytelling, emotion, and working with actors.

     

    As a cinematographer, I’ve worked on numerous award-winning shorts, documentaries, commercials, music videos, as well as narrative features and series.  In 2023, I received a SAFTA nomination for “Best Documentary Short” for Tribe, which I filmed and directed.

     

    My work has been screened around the world at international festivals, including Hot Docs, BFI Flare, Encounters, Clexacon, Nashville Film Festival and the Durban International Film Festival. I’ve created content for broadcasters such as HBO, Showmax, SABC, Canal+ and Silwerskerm. I am a member of the International Collective of Female Cinematographers (ICFC),  the Primetime Network, as well as BAFTA Connect.

     

    I am committed to inclusive storytelling and actively seek out projects that reflect diversity and challenge societal norms, aiming to amplify a wide range of voices and perspectives.

     

    I am naturally curious and an avid traveller and my projects have taken me to diverse locations: from Scottish border towns to the Zambian Copperbelt, the Senegalese desert, and the rolling hills of the Eastern Cape in my native South Africa. These journeys have deepened my cultural understanding and expanded my cinematic palette, inspiring fresh approaches to light, colour, and composition.

     

    I speak English, German, French and Afrikaans and am based both in London and Cape Town. I have an EU and a South African passport, making travel and work easier.

    Please get in touch – I’d love to hear how we can collaborate.
