Hello, and thanks for stopping by.

I'm a freelance lighting cameraman with more than 20 years experience working in news, factual & current affairs programmes and broadcast documentaries, both here in the U.K., and internationally for many of the British terrestrial broadcasters, as well as working on independent productions for the major satellite companies  - National Geographic, Discovery, A&E and Sky.

I have always loved travelling to foreign climes; the light, the smells, the tastes... and I enjoy meeting the challenges presented when filming abroad. I am, of course, happy to work closer to home, either as a 1-man news crew or as part of a larger unit, & can provide a 2- man or 3-man documentary crew if required, depending upon the needs of the production.

Television Credits.

'China's Man-made Marvels': 'The Great Wall of China'. Discovery Channel  

Documentary tracing the origins and development of the Great Wall, from an early system of defensive walls built out of mud and straw to the Meng Dynasty forts, which had to withstand explosives and artillery barrages. The film examines not only the huge cost of the wall in terms of human suffering - up to a million people died building it - but the vast range of engineering and logistical problems which had to be overcome in order to realise such an immense undertaking. Engineers had to work out ways of building over mountain peaks and river valleys; even into the sea.  Extensive shooting for C.G.I.

 

 

 Seconds From Disaster: 'USS Forrestal'. National Geographic Channel. The story of the tragic fire aboard the aircraft carrier, USS Forrestal, stationed in the Bay of Tonkin, Vietnam, in 1967. The fire - and subsequent explosions - led to the deaths of more than 130 servicemen, and resulted in a complete overhaul of operational, safety & fire-fighting procedures throughout the US naval fleet. Hi-Definition with extensive shooting for C.G.I.  

 

'China's Man-made Marvels': 'Beijing's Olympic Makeover'. Discovery Channel.
In the run-up to the Beijing olympics, the Chinese government embarked upon an ambitious series of building projects, using world renowned architects, new construction techniques and state-of -the-art materials. From the new opera house in Beijing, a colossal, titanium-skinned egg, nicknamed 'the spaceship', to the new athletics stadium, which resembles a gigantic bird's nest, these are some of the most difficult and expensive civil engineering projects ever undertaken.

'Killing Mum & Dad': The Menendez Brothers. Sky One.
In 1989 Jose and Kitty Menendez were brutally murdered in a seemingly motiveless attack in their Beverly Hills mansion. Was it the Mafia, a business rival, or even their own children who were responsible? The case dragged on through the courts for several years -and two trials - before the murderers were finally brought to justice.
