Hello, and thanks for stopping by.
I'm a freelance lighting cameraman with over 20 years experience working in TV news and broadcast documentaries - both here in the U.K. and worldwide - for British and international TV networks and independent production companies.
Although I'm UK based, I've always enjoyed travelling to foreign climes - the light, the heat, the tastes.... and I've been fortunate to have worked on some really interesting stories over the years - memorable documentaries from locations as diverse as the Meng Dynasty fortresses of the Gobi Desert and the palatial residences of Beverly Hills. Nowadays I'm just as happy to work closer to home, either as a 1-man crew or as part of a larger team.
I have my own broadcast camera channel with sound and lights, so can be available at short notice for last-minute or breaking news work. Sometimes the reporter can't make it for a news interview; that's no problem - just email or text me the questions and I'll do the rest, then have the material fed 'down the line' to you from the nearest news hub. Regular clients include ITN & BBC national news, Breakfast TV News etc, filming VT packages, interviews and features, and occasionally doing 'lives' for OB satellite feeds.
I can also provide a 2 or 3-man crew for documentaries, corporate video, educational & training work.
