About me

I am fascinated by the technical aspect of production within the camera, sound and lighting departments. I am able to quickly absorb new information and put it to practical use on various types of video shoots. At the moment, I would like to mainly focus on developing my skills as a camera operator/assistant.
I possess experience of operating, rigging and setting up a variety of both film and TV cameras, including industry leading RED & ARRI as well as Phantom HD Gold & VEO slow motion cameras. As part of a camera rental company, I'm been able to work with these cameras, sound, lighting and grip equipment on a daily basis.
I have shot and assisted during many types of shoots: music videos, documentaries, short films, events, commercials, corporate and promotional videos for brands like Aldi, Toys R Us, BBC, Aston Villa, Free Radio.

As a camera operator, I like to experiment to find new exciting ways of shooting if appropriate. I am an advocate of camera movement including hand held, the use of sliders, dollys, jibs and stabilisers. While being creative, I am always conscious of maintaining the right shot composition and framing.

I believe that hard work is the key to mastering any discipline and talent is only a small part of the success, which is why I take pride in working hard and my high organisational skills.
