Most of my working year is spent overseas shooting documentaries. I’ve filmed in 90 or so countries in the last 25 years, many of those multiple times.
As I kid I was desperate to travel and see the world, and I now have a job that allows me to do just that.
Work has taken me to deserts, the arctic, jungles, glaciers, conflict zones, mountains, slums and palaces. From what i’ve seen, some of the most generous people are the ones with the least to give.
I’ve shot the last three of Sir Michael Palin’s travel documentaries, and we’re soon leaving to do a fourth. Like so many of us I watched Around the World in 80 Days as a teenager. To now be part of the team that travels with him is personally very special. He’s a joy to be on the road with.
We’ve been to North Korea, Iraq and Nigeria so far, and In 2019 I received a BAFTA nomination for my camerawork on the North Korea series.
Drive to Survive (Netflix) has also been a regular client for the last 4 seasons. Filming Lewis Hamilton in the Mercedes garage on Grand Prix Day at Silverstone is a high stake’s, high pressure environment to work in, as intense as it was fun.
The relationship between lens, subject and light is something I feel I understand intuitively. The nature and complexity of the environments I’ve worked in have given me the ability to work quickly and well under pressure.
I shoot with a Sony VENICE. Its beating heart is a beautiful full frame sensor locked in a bomb proof shell. It’s solid, reliable and responsible for some of the best films and dramas of the last decade.
If you like what you’ve seen on the site then please do get in touch. I’d love to meet for a drink and a chat to discuss a project you might have, be it documentary, drama or otherwise.
