The studio
Visual content for every platform, with a strong focus on the documentary format.
Since 2007 I have been capturing meaningful stories of real people in real life situations, all over the world, especially in the Global South. Giving a voice to the ones that might otherwise go unheard.
Whether working on a feature-length documentary or a short-form project, the goal is always the same: to create work that is engaging, informative, and visually stunning.

For hire
Bring me onto your production.
I’m the filmmaker behind Film du Noir, with fifteen-plus years of directing and shooting documentary, branded and campaign work. I’m now also taking on freelance jobs, solo or with a crew, from a single shoot day to a full production.
Director and DOP
With 15+ years of experience across documentary, commercial, and branded content
Self-shooting director
Built up over many productions, filming and directing has become second nature to me.
Beyond freelance work, I lead full productions — developing the concept, assembling the right crew from a strong network of trusted professionals, and overseeing every stage through to the final edit.
