I’m a lighting cameraman of wide experience. I cut my teeth back in the late 80s filming major world events such as the collapse of communism in the USSR and Eastern Bloc, the defeat of the Apartheid regime in South Africa and Nelson Mandela’s release from detention, before moving from news to documentary. Since then I’ve worked on well over a hundred documentaries for major British broadcasters, award winning dramas, music videos and much more. I also produce and direct but my main love is for photography, both moving and still.
