Lighting for a fashion shoot
about
with over 20 years experience in the industry,
as a 1st AD I have gained a reputation as a calm and reassuring presence on set, while getting things done efficiently and smoothly. I am equally comfortable working on intimate and artistic projects as well as demanding technical set ups
I have a wide variety of experience and there is little I haven't come across working on fashion, commercials, music promos, and online branded content
I am adept with fashion, beauty, stills, cars, sports
(football, formula 1, rugby, tennis, cricket),
celebrities, crowds, children and animals
I keenly understand the technical aspects of various filming conventions including aerial drones / helicopters, tracking vehicles, u-Crane (mobile ultra-arm), underwater, sfx
(inc: smoke, water, pyrotechnics, snow, wind)
and non-conventional ways of filming; virtual production, stop frame animation, 360vr, motion control, motion capture, highspeed,
I have overseen many stunt sequences with cars, trucks, motorcycles, wire rigs, high fall and fire arms
based in london I enjoy working here and around the UK
I have also worked in france, germany, italy, morocco, netherlands, n. ireland, serbia, spain, switzerland, ukraine, and usa
I speak and have worked using portuguese and french - though not fluently - and I understand basic spanish
my main focus has been on short form projects I have also worked on a number of features over the years
outside of work I raise a smallish human, watch films, run, cycle, swim and yoga when I can
