Self Shooting Video Director & DoP
DP | DoP | PD FOR BROADCAST |Film Director | Digital Content Creator
Need a self shooting Director of Photography or Self Shooting Producer/Director? I have worked on dozens and dozens and even more dozens of viral documentary video productions for big names. Some with millions of views. Working as a Director, DoP and Self Shooter Producer / Director. I can direct camera crews or act as a DoP and Camera Operator.
I have filmed with companies such as Future / Barcroft Media / Channel 4 / Channel 5 using the Sony FX6 and Fx9. I have my own camera kit (Sony Fx6 and Fx3) and I can be hired at short notice. I work with sensitive subject matters on a regular basis and often get told I am easy to work with by contributors.
I am an open minded person and enjoy working on video productions which can be seen as unusual. So if you need a self shooting PD or a director for a documentary shoot do get in touch. Whether it is for an online documentary, TV interview or for instructional videos.
I work with a wide range of cinema cameras and I work as a lighting cameraman on jobs and I can edit video on Premiere Pro. I can create broadcast quality video content for online and television production.
