Biography

I’m the son of a Samoan Matai (Chief) and a Maori military man. I grew up in both Auckland, New Zealand and Brisbane, Australia.

In 2013 I was 1 of 10 to be accepted into the Australian Film Television & Radio School to study Cinematography. Since then I have won 23 ACS Awards including 9 Golds and 1 National Award of Distinction. I have worked on projects in the UK, Europe, China, Cambodia, NZ and all over Australia. In 2020 I decided to specialise as a Camera Operator.

In 2021 I was named a ‘Rising Talent’ of Cinematography by Inside Film Magazine. In my spare time I host a podcast called ‘Cinemapodgrapher’ to give career advice and help the next generation of filmmakers. In 2024 I co-founded Film Tips Pro, an education company to upskill film crew.
