Hi there,
​
Im Tom, a professional Videographer and aspiring Cinematographer.
​
My journey with film and video production started from a young age, creating short youtube videos in the form of tech reviews and tutorials, some of which did surprisingly well. This is where my passion for video began.
​
From here, I studied a Level 3 Extended diploma in Creative media; Where I developed my collaborative skills and began approaching the medium from a more creative and exciting perspective. I graduated in 2020 with a Distinction having worked on numerous group projects that can be seen in my portfolio.
​
Eager to get my hands on more advanced kit and further my skills I decided to embark on a Ba (Hons) in film Production at Solent University. This introduced me to the professional world of film making and video production. Studying here I developed a Profound theoretical understanding and advanced technical skills including operation of industry leading kit such as the Arri Alexa Mini, Sony fx9, and Sony f5 cinema cameras.
​
During my time at Solent I had the pleasure of working with an abundance of likeminded creatives, working on a variety of projects from short films, Documentaries, Promotional videos and Music videos. Its while at Solent that I specialised in Cinematography, which culminated with me as DOP for my FMP short film 'Myrgh'.
​
I Graduated Solent in July 2023 with a First Class Honours in Film Production.
