I have ten years experience of working in video production as a lighting camera operator and
editor. During this time I have worked in full time roles and as a freelancer for a wide variety of
clients, including Sky, Sony, BBC, and Olympus. I own a Sony FS7 shooting kit and DJI Ronin
camera stabilizer. I'm available as a single operator or with another operator for follow
focus/assisting. I also have Canon L lenses, tripod, heavy duty camera slider, G3 radio mic and
416 shotgun mic.
