About

I'm Tom, a Director of Photography based in Manchester, UK. I have over 10 years of experience working on projects including narratives, music videos, fashion & branded content.

This all happened by accident.

It won’t come as a shock to learn that dropping out of a physics degree and failing to ‘make it’ in a band was never part of some master plan to get into the industry. But that’s what happened. Without even considering I could end up doing this as a job, I started making videos for the fun of it. Soon I was working for event production companies, shooting conferences and corporate videos for global brands, and in 2016 I went freelance.

I now work across a range of projects as a Director of Photography. I’ve worked on films, shot countless interviews, filmed underwater, worked with celebrities, lit dozens of green screens, and recently I’ve been working regularly with Manchester based game development studio, Cloud Imperium Games, where I DP a weekly web series and live show. I’m always looking for new exciting projects to work on.

When I'm not rolling, I shoot 35mm film photography, play guitar and look at koi carp photos on Instagram. I bloody love koi carp.
