I’m a self-shooter and certified drone operator (CAA PfCO in the UK, USA part 107), with nearly 15 years experience working for US and UK broadcasters, digital platforms and independent production companies. I have a strong background in international current affairs and investigative programmes, with a proven track record taking pitches from the development phase through to production and into the edit. I'm adept at finding sources, gaining access to difficult institutions, building trust and filming with vulnerable contributors. I'm trilingual (English/German/Tamil) and I've worked across the United States, the UK and Western Europe, as well as parts of South Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean.
I'm a confident shooter, comfortable self-directing sequences with presenters; executing cinematic GVs, slo-mos and time-lapses; and filming observational scenes. I'm a Sony FS7 (and Sony A7sII) owner-operator, and I've worked extensively with Canon C300, Canon 5D series cameras. I also own and operate slider, gimbal and drone kits, am well-versed at lighting a variety of sets, and rigging GoPros, DSLRs and heavier cameras to moving vehicles.
To see some of my work, please see my showreel: https://vimeo.com/414579852. I'm also happy to provide private links to television productions not available online, and references. I live in London. Read Less
