Credits
These are just some of my credits which I have selected to highlight the range of genres that I have been fortunate enough to work on. This has given me a great wealth of experience across the board. I have produced some, directed others and filmed most of them.
I have been shooting drama for some years and in that time have filmed everything from Shakespeare to Comedy. I have also been involved in several Feature Films for TV and the Cinema as Operator or Director of Photography.

Filming Wildlife is a specialist skill that requires knowledge, passion and dedication. Filming wildlife is how I got started so my love for the natural world will always be with me, which is why I still work in this field at every opportunity. Not only that, the skills I have gained have served me well with all other aspects of my work.

Covering News and Sport is a world where things move very quickly indeed. If you can’t hack it, you don’t last. Camera technique is tested to the full.
A news cameraman these days has to be able to edit, do sound, create dolly movements, cook, fix a car, use a computer, set up a satellite phone and do anything else that is needed. Often there is someone else to do all of the above but ENG cameramen have to do it all, including the lighting, that much is expected from them.
I have been involved with everything from smartly lit interviews to live OB’s. I can cope with pressure and I can get the job done ------ on time.
