About me

I have been a Lighting Cameraman for nearly 20 years. In that time I have shot everything from advertisements and music promos to drama, documentaries and corporate films. That includes filming Top Gear, bears in remote Kamchatka, open heart surgery and glamorous interviews with Hollywood stars.

I love the challenges of the job and pride myself on being able to produce great images and sequences in whatever location we end up in and quickly too. Lighting is a passion and my kit includes lots of toys to maximize production values whatever the budget. I own a full 4k FS7 camera kit with all the bells and whistles and it comes in a comfy VW van. I’ve shot with all formats from REDs and Alexas to DSLRs and GoPros and can supply the right tool for the job whether it is a talking head for the internet or a high speed shoot on 4k.

I also edit and self-direct which I think makes me a better cameraman and I enjoy seeing projects through to final delivery when the opportunity arises. So whatever your project please get in touch and I’m happy to discuss my rate and kit and give advice.
