I have extensive experience as a self-shooting producer/ director, edit producer, and producer (from development to archive producing). With strong visual storytelling skills and sound editorial judgment, I have an excellent reputation for delivering the highest quality content no matter what the deadline or budget. I have worked in factual TV for over 12 years and as a professional photographer before that, so lens-based story telling is the fabric of my being! My experience includes major prime time series for the BBC such as Imagine and Great British Photography Challenge, and self-shot observational docs for awards winning series such as What Do Artists do All Day (BBC Four) as well as many other presenter led prime time landmark series. I have also worked on live TV, magazine formats (such as The One Show, Culture Show, and Review Show), and on factual entertainment series for Channel 4 and Channel 5. My expertise include: • observational filming and gaining the trust of my subjects • establishing tone and style of new formats – from pre-production through the edit • edit producing and finding the best possible ways to weave the story together (I can operate an avid suite and am proficient with avid and final cut pro). • producing and turning hugely complex filming needs (including international) into productions that run like Swiss clocks. I am an Edinburgh International Television Film Festival Ones to Watch recipient and an award-winning documentary photographer with work exhibited internationally including the International Center for Photography (ICP NYC) and the National Portrait Gallery of Scotland.
