Chris Bairstow

Director of photography

Amsterdam Vice Squad

The Dark Heart of Italy

The Trust D57

Hi and welcome
 

The films I have shot include the Bafta winning obs/ doc series The Trust, highly successful format shows such as Faking it and Shipwrecked, as well as the presenter led programmes 30 Minutes and The Great British Menu. My drama experience includes the award winning Circumcise This!

 

I have filmed in many countries e.g. China, Russia, Cameroon, Rwanda, Uganda, Irian Jaya, Mexico, Cook Islands - South Pacific, USA, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Jordan, Morocco, Argentina and Jamaica.

 

I am experienced in using film, HD, HDV, Digi Beta, DSR 570, Z1, mini cams and the latest P2 card cameras. I can light both intimate interviews and larger drama sets.

 

As a director/ cameraman I can develop story ideas into scripts, build strong relationships with contributors, lead the team on location and work with the editor to produce a fully rounded programme.

I believe my camera and directing skills combine to give my work a strong narrative and visual sense.
