ABOUT ME:
I've spent my life looking through a lens, and I love it! After graduating with a degree in film & television studies at West Surrey College of Art & Design (1984), I worked on the production side with Acacia Films before transferring into cameras (with Crow Films) until 1990, when I set up as a freelance cameraman.

I like to think that the experience I've gained over the years lets me shoot by reflex when under pressure and in a style both sympathetic to the subject and sensitive to the film's approach. I'll also offer the Director creative ideas and options whenever sought.

Supplying a crew who are both 100%professional and fun to be around is also important to me -- I like filming to be an enjoyable experience for all involved, even when shooting challenging locations & subjects.

If you look for a cameraman who instinctively knows how to turn available light to the best advantage, can quickly set & light a simple or complicated scene, or knows how to pull in a gaffer and sparks to spend a day pre-lighting a full studio shoot; I have experience in all these areas. And it's not only technical skills that count; inter-personnel skills are key, and I like to build positive working relationships and friendships quickly, and then work at making them stronger.

The clips here show you some of the range of work I've been fortunate enough to be involved with. If you'd like to know more about any of the films, or more about me -- visit my website and get in touch.
