Equipment Expertise I work across 16mm, 35mm Film & Digital, Utilising a variety of tools; Cranes, Steadicam, Tracking vehicles, Russian arms or just handheld. I love Creating complex camera movements involving rigging, green screen & VR volumes just as much as working out of the boot of a car on a road trip. I have an in depth knowledge of camera and lighting having worked extensively in feature films, so can offer great creative solutions to briefs. I always bring my full attention and care to projects, whether it’s an intimate hand-held documentary or a big studio setup.
