I’m a versatile freelance DOP/lighting camera/Self Shooting PD with considerable experience across the whole spectrum of broadcast and corporate television, based in the heart of the West Country just outside Plymouth, on the Devon and Cornwall border. Reliable, easy going, enthusiastic and thorough, I get on really well with contributors as I’m very sociable and gain their confidence easily. I’m confident in working with on screen talent.
I’m skilled in the creative use of lighting, happy to self-shoot or take direction and used to making quick decisions and adapting to events as they unfold. I have my own Sony FX9 and FX3 cameras with Sony GM lenses and a set of primes. In addition I have a Ronin RS2 gimbal, slider, dolly and mini jib. I’m happy to work throughout the UK and abroad.
