About me
I have extensive experience working worldwide as a cinematographer and photographer all over the UK especially in Scotlands Highlands and Islands. Lighting is an area I have a great deal of expertise in and take great care to make presenters and actors look good, I can light large sets ups both with hard and soft sources in everything from studios to caves. I also have a wealth of filming experience in many Industrial, outdoor and maritime environments having worked in oil rigs, ships, factories exposed coastlines and underwater and also in specialist areas such as Macro, Medical and detailed commercial work involving intricate lighting.Aviation is an area I have a huge passion for, I've flown over 8900 hrs P1 and filmed from many platforms including Military Jets, Helicopters, experimental aircraft and microlights.
I am a BBC approved drone operator (with x5s cameras, DJI Inspire 2 drones with the ability to record Prores at 4k). TV Drone Works.

Referees:
"Richard and I have worked together on shoots in the UK and abroad. Richard brings a clever, original, and artistic eye to every shoot. He thinks deeply about each shot and has an impressive grasp of the possibilities of the latest technology, whether he is shooting miniscule prehistoric insects or cathedral-sized works of art, or whether using his drone to get amazing aerial footage. The result is that editing Richard's work is a constant joy."
