ABOUT ME...

Array
(
    [copy] => I began my television career as a camera assistant in commercials, gaining a solid understanding of lighting and camera operation.

Since then, my career has taken me around the globe. Among other things, I self-directed, filmed and produced a 10 part primetime documentary series, co-produced and shot the ASP World Surfing Champs at locations around the world and while based in London, worked as a freelance lighting cameraman for some of the biggest production companies and TV Channels in Europe.

Through this broad variety of work, I have gained an in-depth understanding of the elements required to make a successful TV show, and my work as a cameraman reflects this. I understand how to shoot from an editors perspective and how to interpret a directors vision.

Whether its fast turnaround formatted reality, in-depth documentaries or creative title sequences, I work hard to ensure I produce the best possible results.
