Hardworking, creative and calm under pressure, I'm a freelance DoP and lighting cameraperson who is always looking for a new story to tell. Working across documentary, current affairs, news, corporate and specialist factual genres, my profession has taken me to many extraordinary corners of the world, and I enjoy the opportunities I get to portray people and places with creativity and sensitivity. I’m based in South London but will work anywhere in the world. I keep my Hostile Environment training and certification up to date, and I have documentary and news experience in conflict areas including Ukraine, Iraq and the Democratic Republic of Congo. I own Sony FX9, FX6, PXW Z280 and A7Siii camera kits with a good complement of sound, lighting and grip. I am, of course happy to use any other camera systems your production requires. I have a new website with examples, kit list, credits and testimonials at www.richard-ashdown.co.uk . Read Less
