Read MoreA DOP who instinctively knows how to capture the moment, turn available light to the best advantage, quickly set & light simple or complicated scenes and build a film's narrative & characters through the lens."Ben is an outstanding lighting cameraman who I have worked with many times over the last 15 years on all kinds of factual TV programmes and in locations all over the world. He has great artistic and technical ability, an excellent eye for a shot, has a great way with contributors, and always works really well within a team" - James Millar, prod/dir"I've worked with Ben for over 15 years and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him as a Lighting cameraman. He frames and lights beautifully, is calm and collected under pressure, gets on well with contributors, is well aware and interested in editorial content and is a great team player".

Read LessI have worked with Ben Hodgson over the last eight years on a variety of major projects both drama and documentary and in locations all over the world. He is incredibly hard-working and dedicated and very creative both visually and in terms of editorial content. Most recently I finished a 99-day drama shoot (shot over 4 years) in Morocco under extreme conditions. I can honestly say he is one of - if not the - best DoPs I have ever worked with and I would gladly trust him with my professional life!
