I work as a Lighting Cameraman in television, promotional, and factual production, and as a Camera Operator in film, drama, and music / live entertainment. I have my own kit and a studio with Cyclorama in central Hackney, Darnley Road Studios (www.darnleyroadstudios.com).I work out of London and Ludlow, Shropshire, and can easily cover Bristol, Manchester and Cardiff as well as Birmingham and the Midlands.With fifteen years’ experience as a Focus Puller (1st AC) progressing from music videos to feature films, I cut my teeth on film cameras before hi-definition digital became the norm, and I enjoy working to the highest standards as part of a team. I hung up my tape-measure for good in 2015. My parallel career shooting news and corporate video, including 5 years as a freelance with Sky News, has grounded me in the nuts and bolts of shooting PSC and live camera, and proved my ability to deliver under pressure.Whilst technically-minded I am 100% focussed on the aesthetics and narrative of film – for me the story and picture are one and must come first. When not shooting, or watching movies, I like to play guitar, read, run, and practice tai chi. But not at the same time. Yet.I am a member of the Guild of British Camera Technicians, the Guild of Television Cameramen, and a friend of the Association of Camera Operators. The wonderful Kate Collier at Arricrew looks after my diary but please feel free to contact me direct to discuss any job! Read Less
