A UK-born film colourist (since 2013) I have a varied background in cinema-related professions including documentaries, camera operating, editing and festival programming. Raised in West Africa, I have lived in a multitude of countries and presently reside in Berlin.
A graduate of UP.GRADE, the German Film and Television Academy’s revered 9-month, full-time post-graduate colourist programme, I have been fortunate to have received extensive guidance and expertise from some of the most distinguished professionals in the post-production industry.
Having worked for UP.GRADE (alongside my colour mentor Dirk Meier) since 2016, I now enjoy demystifying colour grading and motion picture imaging for other professionals, lecturing at film schools and on a one-to-one basis.
In my spare time I produce studies of the characteristics of film images or optical effects with the aim of reproducing them using image processing tools.
I also explore the history of cinematography using forms of mimesis – for example re-photographing location scenes from popular films. This site also contains a number of examples of my personal creative work with images, including cinema ‘timeslices’ and traditional still photography.
