About Me

I’m an experienced and versatile DoP/Cameraman with over 25 years in broadcast television, known for delivering beautifully crafted content across a wide range of genres. I'm proud to have been DoP on Cruising with Jane McDonald, Channel 5’s first ever BAFTA-winning series (Best Feature, 2018).From high-end factual entertainment and doc... Read More

I have worked with Stef on many many episodes of Countryfile and on Britain’s Big Wildlife Revival, so we’ve seen some challenging working conditions together over the years. Stef is picked regularly for the programme because he offers creative beauty that directors look for and works collaboratively with us all. He was especially selected to film the Great British Ramble for Countryfile because the production knew he could handle the incredibly tough physical day (on the shoulder for nine hours straight, walking backwards on steep coastal paths) while still delivering great shots and keeping spirits up. From a presenter's point of view, Stef is great to collaborate with in trying alternative takes and shooting styles for each sequence. It’s always great to see Stef’s name on the call sheet.

Really creative and cinematic camera operator. Great with contributors too, and a delightful team-member to have with you on location.

James Mair - Director, Coast

I've worked with Stef for over a decade now. Hard working, diligent, creative and good to work with. His polecam work is very good and precise. I would recommend him wholeheartedly and look forward to our continued relationship.

Paul Davidson Producer / Director

I've worked with Stef across many factual shows including Countryfile, Gardeners' World and a number of BBC Learning projects.

All us PD's have 'our favourites' and Stef is one of mine. A superb camera guy in a wide variety of shooting situations and styles. He also places great emphasis on knowing the story and shooting for a good edit. His polecam work is also exceptional.

He's an all round good egg... Whoever the presenter or contributors, Stef will quickly establish a good rapport with them to help you get the best out of those on screen.

Andrew Painten, Producer/Director
