Bigger news: I'm now officially a film director! I have been given the honour of directing a feature length film on the making of the film Crazy Faust! Things just got serious :)

A milestone for me: directing my first scene in a personal feature film, as the Second Unit Director. Fortunately, it was two drunks stumbling out an Elizabethan London tavern — so I felt very much at home! 🤣🤣

But a great crew, ingenuity and a high dose of laughter are knocking them out the park at each step. It's been a great learning experience so far, and I even got to direct one if the scenes — a great honour and a key step towards achieving my dream of being a filmmaker.

Lots of challenges and curve balls to overcome.

It's been quite a first week of filming. Lots of late, late nights (bedtime is now around 5-6am).

Day 3 of the shoot. I'm loving the experience and learning a lot. Yesterday I had the honour and privilege of being made Second Unit D Director, which meant I directed my first scene in a professional feature film. It's what I wanted to do since I was 14. It's all quite surreal!

Being as close to the leader as possible, whether in business or any creative pursuit, is the best learning you can get. Being in a small team, the more hats you have to wear the better — it gives you the most experience and opportunity to learn, so take full advantage anytime

With a little tweaking of settings and, more importantly, positioning, the "normal" world becomes a lot more interesting.

We walk around with these amazing little cameras in our pockets all day. And they are so good at getting instant and decent point-and-shoot results that we often don't delve deeper into what more they can do.

Playing around with the phone camera settings a bit more, trying to use focus, depth and framing contrasts to make things more interesting.

When opportunity comes, from the biggest and most daunting to the smallest and, seemingly, most insignificant, you must embrace it with both hands, grow into the unknown and to exceed expectations. Always do your best because, like links in a chain, opportunities tend to follow

I have some very big, exciting and, frankly, rather bizarre news to share with you... I'm going to be both acting in, and working as the production designer on, a micro budget feature film, directed by Christopher Coppola, being shot 10 mins down the road from me, here, in

And even the drizzle didn't stop them!

Made two new friends on my morning walk. Thought I'd rope them in to help me improve my photography by trying to find more interesting angles. Fortunately, they were natural models! 😃

A drizzly day doesn't keep nature away!

You never know when, or where, opportunity may present itself. Even in the strangest and least likely of places. So always be ready to embrace every opportunity, no matter how small it may seem initially. And always, always, always, give it your all.

Spring is a special time of year. I'm trying to force myself to slow down and enjoy it by taking more photos. But not just any shots; finding more interesting angles, framing elements, contrasting depths. The real benefit isn't necessarily in the results, but noticing,

It's a small way to add opportunities to improve into a normal day's routine.

The real benefit isn't necessarily in the results, but noticing, looking and attempting to be more creative than before.
