About Me
If I were to sum myself up, I would say I am a DP who comfortably blends the roles of artist and technician.
My passion for image making started in 1983 when my father bought me an Olympus OM10 and set up a dark room in our house. The second I saw an image come out of the developer tray, I was hooked and from then on photography and film making has been a large part of my life.
After training at Ravensbourne in London, I worked at a number of broadcasters in a variety of roles, including cameras, editing, and studio operations.
Since going freelance in 1997, I have worked for all the UK broadcasters (BBC, ITV, Channel 4, and Sky), as well as a host of European and US broadcasters (ABC, NBC, CBS, ARTE, SRG, RTE, NAT GEO).
Over the years, I have shot documentaries, factual, current affairs, and sport. It now includes extensive corporate work, commercials, and narrative. My material has been broadcast around the world, and my corporate output can be found on the websites of some of the world’s biggest companies.
My calm and professional attitude - even in adverse conditions - has made me the favourite DP for many producers and directors, with my name on the preferred lists of some of the country’s top production companies.
Whatever I do, I bring the same high level of creative input and professionalism to every project.
I am based in London and have worked extensively in Europe and the US.
I have my own Sony Venice, FX9, FX6, and an A7s3 with Canon Cine Zooms and prime lenses from Olympus and Leica. I have a comprehensive range of lighting including LEDs from Aladdin and Cineo, as well as Arri tungsten lamps, and it all comes in a VW 2015 Transporter fully racked to take kit and five persons (inc. driver).
Although I regularly use my own kit, I am available for hire without kit and have in-depth experience with all current digital cinema cameras from Arri, Sony, Canon, Panasonic, and Red. I also have very good relationships with a number of the UK hire companies so can put together very comprehensive and competitive packages.
