Description

As a skilled operator of handheld broadcast cameras, I've consistently delivered high-quality coverage for a variety of corporate conferences and live music events. My recent skills honed in the LED wall construction process shows my technical versatility and eagerness to expand my expertise. My personal equipment, including the Canon EOS C70 and DJI drones, reflects a readiness to contribute to dynamic and visually compelling productions.

I am Creative, confident, and hardworking, primarily across broadcast and live event production, though I am most keen to advance my career within the Film and TV industry by gaining valuable experience and climbing the professional ladder of the camera department, to eventually become an established and dependable Camera Operator.

I am continuously striving to enhance my camera operating abilities with hands on experience to stay at the forefront of industry advancements.
