Summary

I consider myself a creative, hard working and flexible operator. I enjoy taking the lead creatively but equally love realising someone else's vision.

Over the course of my career I have become a highly skilled Camera Operator with expertise in various camera equipment, ensuring smooth shoots and quality edits.

I love the variety of this job, from sit down interviews to live events, and being able to adapt to each situation is all part of the fun.
