Camera Supervisor / Operator

Lighting Camera Operator

I am an experienced multi-camera studio and outside broadcast camera supervisor and operator, who also works as a lighting camera operator/DoP, filming both nationally and internationally. 

With many years of award winning experience within the television industry, my camera abilities are varied, with excellent skills on studio pedestal, outside broadcasts cameras (both long lens and hand held), PSC single camera filming, SNG and webcasting.

Through out my career, I have had the opportunity to work on many notable major events, including, Royal Weddings, Funerals and Coronations, Papal and Presidential visits, as well as many Olympic and Commonwealth Games.
 
With a broad background, excellent team working abilities and communication skills, I hope to bring technical and creative innovations to any production.

News Update

September 2024

It’s been a  privilege and a pleasure to have worked on Whisper’s Channel 4 coverage of the Paralympic Games for Timeline TV in Paris.

As one of the freelance camera guarantee/camera operators working for Timeline, I was very fortunate to work across multiple venues, using both cabled cameras into truck and fly away kit, as well as MVP remote camera, all being directed and produced in Cardiff at Whisper's new Cymru Broadcast Centre.

August 2024

It’s been a diverse first half of this year with a comprehensive variety of work. 
My thanks to ITV Sport and Chris Hollier for the Six Nations Rugby, FA Cup, LaLiga Studio, European Championship Rugby and also to North One TV for their ITV NFL Shows and NFL London Games. Motor Racing has been engaging with both Gravity Media’s Goodwood Members Meeting and the Goodwood Festival of Speed, along with the A2RL (autonomous motor racing) in Abu Dhabi for Hayfisher. Timeline TV have kept me busy with TNT Sport’s National League Football, BBC Wales Sport and the British Basketball League’s OB’s and studio presentations. Glasgow was the venue for the  IAAF World Athletics Championships for camera supervisor Tim Moses and executive producer Mark Fulton for ITN Sport, whilst ‘Fight Night Live’ boxing for TNT Sport saw me at the O2 Arena. Last January was the New Years Day Concerts around London for Cliff Webb at 1080 Media TV. White Light and d&b Solutions have kept me occupied, culminating in an impressive royal ceremony at St Paul’s. It was good to keep my hand in with SNG and WMT whilst covering both the Euro Fan Zone for BBC Sport and also ‘The Nation Decides’ election coverage for C4. However my two favourite jobs of the year so far have been the Anniversary Celebrations in Jordan and the recent State Opening of Parliament, both for camera supervisor Bruce Miller and BBC Events.
Many thanks to everyone who have kept me gainfully employed and to all the colleagues that I have worked with.

December 2023

Very honoured to be one of the camera supervisors collecting the multi-camera Royal Television Society Craft and Design Awards on behalf of all the BBC camera crew working on the historic and poignant production of the BBC coverage of The State Funeral of HM Queen Elizabeth II
