A couple of weeks ago, I had the privilege of being commissioned by the Film and TV Charity to produce unit stills and behind-the-scenes photography for their short film “Break The Cycle.” This powerful video campaign aims to raise awareness about mental health and wellbeing within the Film and TV industry, helping to build a healthier and more supportive environment for everyone involved.

This project truly resonated with me on a personal level. As a photographer who often works on set, I’ve witnessed firsthand the demands and pressures that come with this line of work. It was both fascinating and a bit surreal to be shooting BTS of BTS—photographing actors who were playing crew members, blurring the lines between reality and fiction.

The atmosphere on set was super fun, filled with passion and purpose. I had such a fantastic time working alongside an incredibly talented team, and I was fortunate enough to capture some key moments that beautifully encapsulate the essence of the campaign.

Last week, the video was officially launched and has already made a significant impact. It’s been amazing to see how well it’s been received. You can check out the full video on the Film and TV Charity’s social channels.

Here are some of my favourite shots from the shoot—moments that not only tell the story of the film but also highlight the importance of mental health and wellbeing in an industry that’s close to my heart.

I’m grateful to have been a part of this meaningful project and look forward to seeing the positive change it inspires.
