About me

I am a London based Lighting Cameraman and DOP, with experience in fast documentary style shooting as well as more nuanced and considered branded content. I am very flexible with regards to the scope of the projects I work on: if you have a clear idea of what you need and simply require a skilled operator to facilitate your vision, I am happy to accommodate that. Likewise, if you are keen on creative, editorial or any other type of input, I am always glad to throw a few ideas in to the mix (always bearing in mind that there is a time and a place for those ideas). If the job or the budget require it, I can operate as a 'one-man-band', but if you do have the scope for additional people, I can easily work with a larger crew, and in certain case would prefer too (it can save time and result in a higher quality product!)
