I am a self-shooting PD, Series Director and DOP/Cinematographer with my own full kit (Sony FX6, A7S III, prime lenses, gimbal, fextensive lighting, sound gear and transport). I specialise in stylish, premium master interviews with a strong, Netflix-level visual aesthetic. A confident storyteller with a sharp creative eye, I quickly identify the tone of a piece and shoot accordingly, from high-end history about the Royals to children’s science and sensitive human-interest documentaries. I have extensive experience across one-off docs, cookery, science, medical, manufacturing, gardening, children’s and reality programming. A proven ability to build trust with even challenging contributors. Known for strong scriptwriting, editorial judgement and delivering glossy, high-quality films to tight deadlines and budgets.

Examples of my work can be seen on my website: www.dcoates.co.uk
