About me
Hi there, I’m Peter.I’m a London based, multi-skilled DP, with extensive experience behind the camera. I’ve worked with high profile clients such as NOW TV, The Times, Guinness, BMW, Stella Artois, Macmillan Cancer Support and Nationwide.
Myu showreel is here; www.peter-ford.com
My career has followed the path of an old school director, working my way up from the bottom. I started off as a camera assistant, training at both Ravensbourne and the BBC. I then worked as an assistant editor, then as a camera operator and steadicam op for various companies before finding a home at Spectrecom Films where I worked for 5 years. There I worked as a lighting cameraman / editor initially, then became their head of post production, before moving into DP work as the company's head of photography - lighting in both studio and on location. As my career progressed again, I found myself doing more and more directing work.
I’ve since moved on to work as a freelance Director and film-maker. My varied skill set, and wide range of experience in many departments and with many different types of production, give me a unique outlook as a director. I would describe myself as highly technical, innovative, and full of enthusiasm for storytelling. I own a full Sony FS7 camera kit including a range of lenses, lighting and audio equipment.
Please get in touch if you would like to know more about me or would like to discuss a project.
