About me

Web - harrisonbates.co.uk

My experience in film and photography spans over 6 years which includes a degree in Marine and Natural History Photography as well as professional production work. With my time in the industry, I have worked on many projects in a variety of locations including, Bangladesh, Morocco, Egypt, Cambodia, Vietnam and Southern Africa. My main passion is documenting real life events and telling a story that will capture my audience.

I find great pleasure in creating artistic and moving videography and I constantly look for different perspectives by varying my angles, lighting and focal lengths. I create new and interesting effects which helps me to produce visually pleasing content. While studying my BA, I gained great insight into camera and lighting skills. I am always keen to learn the latest camera techniques which I implement into my work on a daily basis. The skills I have learned mean I execute every project to the highest standard.

Through my degree I became proficient at operating the Cannon C300 and the Panasonic P2, while using it to film a documentary on human wildlife conflict. I am proficient in using a Red Epic, Sony FS5 and A7s along with other cameras, and I have experience in underwater housing systems. I am always keen to expand on my knowledge of filming and enjoy learning how to operate new cameras which I do so quickly. Working as a freelance cameraman I use my own equipment which includes a 5DMK3, GoPro4 and a broadcast quality JVC 750e. I also own a variety of sound equipment, as well as dollies, cranes and sliders which I use to create more interesting images.
