Description

I’m a DP living in Norfolk with additional working bases in London and Manchester.

Ex-ITV and BBC staff, and a freelance DP since 2007, I have more than 25 years experience working across low-budget features, shorts, commercials, broadcast and corporate sectors.

I am an accomplished camera operator including geared head operation.

I can provide camera accessories, Cooke or Zeiss Superspeed lenses, lighting, grip, etc for wet or dry hire.

Special Interests

I began my career in camerawork shooting documentaries and over the last 25 years or so this has taken me all over the world to shoot theatrical feature docs as well as premium programmes for broadcasters such as Nat Geo, BBC, PBS, ARTE and many more.

I also have a particular interest in narrative work, where I love the challenge of low-budget and smaller scale movies, which require a different blend of resourcefulness and creative thinking to get the best results. I’m able to draw on my vast experience of documentary filming to achieve a lot with a little in terms of time and resources.

This dual focus also work is in reverse, where I’m able to bring a cinematic sensibility to my documentary work. Particular subjects of interest include history, science and sport documentaries, and I particularly enjoy the opportunity to blend both genres together in drama-docs.
