JON HILLYER – Lighting Cameraman / Documentary DoP – ManchesterCreative, innovative and with the highest artistic and professional standards, I am a lighting cameraman with 25 years experience of filming high end TV. I put much time and thought into creating compelling images which convey the narrative, emotion and ideas behind what I am filming. I am engaged, perceptive and communicate well with contributors and colleagues, taking a great interest in people, personalities and human interest stories. I am comfortable accepting and giving direction, taking an artistic lead as appropriate to create the visual identity of a programme.I have worked for all the major UK broadcasters with a particular focus on documentaries, current affairs and factual entertainment, also including news, sport, TV features, corporate and branded content.I own and operate the latest broadcast equipment including gimbals, drone, sliders & motion control. I offer a facility which includes customized crew vehicles fully kitted out for clients’ requirements. I take a dedicated interest in leading edge camera technology and techniques and continually invest to provide a professional and highly reliable creative service.Based in Manchester, I work across the whole of the UK, Europe and worldwide. Work has taken me to countries including Russia, Ukraine, Macedonia, Australia, USA, Mexico and the Caribbean.“Jon is a joy to work with – he has a fantastic eye, is really collaborative and works exceptionally hard.
