Bio
Some of my recent clients
For the past 20 years I have been following my passion as a career and it has taken me around the world to places I have felt privileged to have seen.
I have filmed, directed and edited short films, documentaries and much more from Clapham to Cambodia and in 2005 I was short listed for a BAFTA craft award for my series of short films for Sky News “If I were Prime Minister”
I consider myself as one of the new breed of cinematographers. Over the past 3 years I have embraced the 35mm film adaptor market, shooting on HD video but making it look close to 35mm film. I also have recently embraced the video DSLR cameras, in particular the Canon 5d Mk2 and the Canon 7d. Please visit my DSLR films section to see just how beautiful they look. I have used these DSLRs on all sorts of projects including recently some work for Lucasfilm.
I bring a real passion, energy and dedication to your project no matter how big or small it is. I will always deliver the absolute best that I can every single time.
My recent work includes films for Discovery HD, Five, Living, Sky One and many more.
I am also director of small but cool production company “Some Like It Shot Productions” and co-founder of online training resource, F-Stop Academy.
There is a also a wealth of information on my site for both the seasoned and junior film maker, as well as on my blog and forum. I hope you find it useful. We all need as much help as we can get to make it these days and I hope I can help.
