Shooting PD, Lighting Camera Operator and Drone Operator. Background in documentary and branded content for broadcast, online and theatrical. Enthusiastic team player, good at quickly creating rapport with contributors, and experienced camera operator shooting with Sony FX9, FX6, FX3, FS7 and Canon C300. Drone operator with A2CofC and GVC, flying standard and 360 degree drones. Looking for work both as a Shooting PD/shooter-for-hire on a day-to-day basis and for longer contracts.

Experience filming with vulnerable subjects where building trust and working alone or with a small crew is preferable, and also as producer/director with larger crews and several departments.

Sony FX6 and FX3 owner operator, filming with prime lenses and zooms, lighting and grip to suit a range of different filming scenarios. DJI Mini 4 Pro drone owner operator - sub 250g allowing overflight of uninvolved people. The A2CofC qualification also allows me to fly larger drones up to 4kg as close as 5m from uninvolved people. I run Hedge on my MacBook Pro for ingesting rushes, with editing and motion graphics in Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve.
