Film Director · Selected Work
Animals don't perform on command. Neither does the best food photography. Three moments from my work. Each one required something different. Each one delivered because of patience, not pressure.
Real animals, real sets, real behaviour.
The shot you can't prompt, generate or predict — only wait for.
Food direction is light, timing and restraint.
The moment a pour catches the lens the right way doesn't happen twice.
The same patience that works on animals works on people.
Quiet direction, the right atmosphere — and knowing when to stop talking.
The best animal on set is always the one you didn't expect.
A cat doesn't know it's in a commercial. A dog doesn't understand a call sheet. But thirty-five years on set teaches you how to get the shot anyway — and keep everyone on the right side of happy while you do.
That's not a soft skill. It's the difference between a brief that delivers and one that doesn't.
Shot in Europe, the US, Latin America and Asia.
