I have a base in Bristol, London and Sweden. I have worked as a DOP/ Lighting Cameraman for 20 'odd' years, and predominantly high end drama, but still love making documentaries and short films.
Programmes include: BBC Father Brown X 2 eps 2023, Casualty x 24 eps, Dumping Ground x 4 eps (CBB), To Catch a Serial Killer, It's a Wonderful Life, Hackers, Sugar (short), Another Man's Shoes (short), Kavanagh QC, Equinox, Trial & Error, Dispatches, Travelogue in Yemen, Bonded labour in Pakistan,....
I have worked for BBC, Brook Lapping, Chalkboard, CBBC, Green Rock, 12Yard,...
I also teach film degree students on occassion over the last couple of years at the Bristol Old Vic School.
I have also worked on many other genres including; films, commercials, corporates and still happy to do so.
I have travelled extensively with work. Documentaries involve filming in (some hostile environments); Yemen, Pakistan, India, Mexico, US, former USSR, Australia, Hong Kong, Macau, Saudi Arabia and many. many countries in Europe. I am flexible and adaptable to work with many cameras and fast learning to unfamiliar ones (along with people!).
Please see my CV included for a more extensive list. I believe that images should subtly complement story telling and I take pride in my composition and use of light whilst under the pressure of time.
I believe I have gained people skills to suit the occasion, and believe that kindness and laughter are a calming influence in meeting the pressures of filmmaking. I enjoy being part of a team, being organized, and believe that a contented crew is essential to the creative process. I'm enthusiastic, passionate and adaptable, whether responsible for a large camera unit, or working with a skeleton team. I values the collaboration with other departments.
Through experience, I am able to meet a tight schedule without compromising the quality of the programme, whilst also being aware of a safe working ethic for myself and the crew. I am a firm believer in proper planning and preparation if possible, also being flexible with the physical demands of long periods of hand holding when required.SHOWREEL LINK ON VIMEO IS : https://vimeo.com/275513603NEW: SONY FS5 KIT 4K (identical spec to Sony FS7), ATMOS SHOGUN, Many LED top LIGHTS, Easyrig, Manfrotto 216 head and legs, Sound kit, and other Accessories ready for Documentary or any other work.
