More About Me
I have always had something to do with TV, apart from watching it too much! When I was very young, my dad used to sneak me into Master Control at YTV for a look around, it was at that age that I decided TV production was for me!
I first worked for Yorkshire Television in the early 90's where I worked with the local news programme 'Calendar' as a Links Truck engineer travelling all over Yorkshire doing OB's. I then went to Ravensbourne College in Kent where I took a HND in Television Programme Operations. It was there that I decided to specialize in television camera operating.
After college I did a bit more work for local news before a Trainee Camera position came up at YTV. At that time YTV was very busy with both the big studios making a variety of programme types. This proved to be an excellent training ground, together with Emmerdale. Training was very strict and 'old school', years of experience being past on by operators who worked through YTV's prime in the 60's 70's and 80's. Over the next 10 years at YTV, I became a camera supervisor on various top ITV programmes including 'Heartbeat', a single camera drama. Despite all this, I was desperate to work on a wider variety of shows, so in 2005 I became freelance.
Now with 15 years experience as a Camera Operator, and 5 years as a Steadicam Operator; I am very competent in most types of camera work including studio ped work or track and dolly for Soap/Drama use.
I am able to work anywhere in the country.
