I have more than 15 years experience in factual television, adventure documentary, TV Adverts promos and free-sports programming. I've worked on prime time shows, such as Top Gear along with having my own travel adventure series for Nat Geo films and films shown at many leading films festivals such as Kendal Mountain Festival and the Adventure Travel Film Festival. Recent highlights were travelling to the remote Yemeni island of Socotra by wooden boat with a National Geographic team.
I'm a skilled shooting PD or AP with commercial drone permissions and excellent camera knowledge, who can take an idea through development, commissioning, shooting and post production to delivery. Having worked in over thirty countries I understand well working to budget, taking the right kit and bringing it home safely.
I'm at home with large productions, or small crews and self-direction. My experience working with presenters and contributors alike makes me an excellent all rounder who's phased little by demanding shoots.
Having trained as a cameraman and assistant I have worked with many cameras. I'm currently working with Sony's flagship Sony A7s and FS7 broadcast quality cameras. I'm also comfortable using Canon C300's and 5D's too. I'm comfortable as lone shooter or as part of a team. I am a CAA PFCO certified operator with Mavic 2 Pro Drones. https://youtu.be/Lrun-V9Eec4
