CAMERA OPERATOR

VIEW FILMSDOWNLOAD CV

I am an Edinburgh camera operator and drone pilot – I travel worldwide with my own equipment. With over twelve years filming for broadcast, brands and documentary I’ve accumulated alot of knowledge – and even more kit! 

I love the challenge of documentary, the detail of location lighting and filming in extreme locations. I enjoy the variety of the job – creating branded content or capturing live action – I strive to make everything look the best it can. I offer various camera and lighting packages and a crew vehicle.

Notable TV programmes includes ‘Wild Britain’, ‘Europe from Above’, ‘Channel 4 News’, ITN’s ‘Tonight’, ‘Exposure’ and ‘Grand Designs: The Street’. Well-known brands I have filmed for include Dior, Amazon, Shell, Visa, Fifa, BMW, Starbucks, Dyson, Nestle and Boeing.

I am a BAFTA New Talent winner and I think one of my favourite filming days was filming Gannets at the Bass Rock. An unforgettable experience.
