Hi and welcome

Here are some of the films I've shot recently.

Two films for Landmark Films/ BBC 3, on children's beauty pageants, with director Clare Richards.

An Undercover Boss for Studio Lambert / Channel Four with director Suzanne Lynch.

I've just got back from shooting a second series of BBC Startup Stories in San Francisco, to view the first series click here.

I also interviewed Quentin Tarantino, who was amazing!

I operated on a feature film using the Sony F35 camera, amazing pictures but a beast of a camera to use handheld.

Regards, Chris

Profile

As an experienced DoP my goal, whether shooting documentaries or drama, is to make visually and emotionally engaging films, so that the audience fully immerse themselves in the world of the story and characters.

I have shot many award winning films including the Bafta winning  obs/ doc series The Trust for C4.

I have travelled extensively e.g. Vietnam, China, Russia, Cameroon, Rwanda, Uganda, Irian Jaya, Mexico, Cook Islands - South Pacific, South Africa, USA.

I am experienced in using HDCAM, HD XDCAM, DigiBeta, P2, HDV, DSR, Z1, mini cams and film. I can light for both intimate interviews and larger drama sets.
