Crew Listing


Description

I’m Kristian Barrass, an award-winning broadcast TV lighting camera operator and DOP with over 30 years experience working across UK and international television. I’m used to filming in demanding, fast-changing environments and pride myself on delivering calm, reliable, broadcast-standard results — both creatively and technically.
​My work spans presenter-led lifestyle and entertainment programmes, fast-paced sports shows, sensitive documentaries, breaking news, and high-end corporate and branded content.
Whatever the format, I approach each production with the same focus: strong storytelling, well-crafted images, and a smooth working relationship with the production team.
​Recent credits include "Grand Designs" (Channel 4) and Netflix productions such as "My Lover, My Killer", "Kill Thy Neighbour" and "Sunderland ’Til I Die"
​I’m an owner-operator shooting on Sony FX9 and Sony A7S III camera systems, with a full range of broadcast-ready lenses and stabilisation. I’m also a CAA-approved drone operator and experienced in live and remote broadcasting, having worked extensively with satellite trucks, LiveU, Mobile View, WMT IP streaming and fibre-based solutions.
