Read MoreI have nearly three decades of experience in the broadcast and corporate video industries, both as a freelance videographer and insert producer. I work hard to produce the best results I can on any project, no matter what the resources at hand and I'm not shy to get my hands dirty to get the job done. I take particular pride in my lighting skills and the end result is a source of great accomplishment for me.
I have worked in a number of genres, concentrating on documentaries, news features, investigative inserts as well as corporate video productions, while natural history and wildlife documentaries hold a special place in my heart.
I am reserved with a sense of humour and I thrive working with professional people of integrity. I live in Pretoria, South Africa with my wife, who is an artist and lecturer, and our two young daughters. We are prepared to relocate for a permanent position in the Netherlands.
