About me

I am an experienced freelance D.O.P, Lighting Cameraman at WILLCAM TV LTD.
I am an Owner Operator with various kit such as a Canon C300, Lights including Kino’s new Celeb200 and Arri’s 1.2K HMI, sound kit with G3 radio mics and grip kit including a Kessler Slider and Glidecam HD4000.

I am also very familiar with most cameras out there today including Go Pros, PMW 500s, F800’s, C500’s, F5’s and Arri Alexa’s. Not forgetting the DSLRs, including Nikon’s D810 and Canon’s 5D.

My work is primarily corporate; I do however shoot for broadcast including BBC, Cbeebies, ITV2 and BSKYB etc. I have worked on various other formats such as music videos, live broadcasts, Promo Idents, Documentaries and Short films.

Additional information:
Choosing a reliable operator must be quite a difficult task.

I have seen it plenty of times before from other operators, where you receive horribly over exposed footage, soft focus, bad sound and content generally not up to the standard required.

If you are looking for a D.O.P/lighting cameraman but have that nagging worry in the back of your mind that you might be unpleasantly surprised by a poor quality of work then please avoid those worries and check out my website and contact me at www.willcam.tv

I have spent the past decade working with all types of kit, from ABC cranes to car mounts, Dollies to Steadicams. I have built rigs and overcome countless shooting obstacles. If you would appreciate any additional advice for a shoot you are planning please feel free to get in touch.

I am based near London, I have a crew vehicle and a full UK Driving License. I am easy to get on with, I am always early to a job and naturally act as an ambassador for companies when in the presence of their clients.
