SHARPSHOOTER ///
What was your first shooting job? My first proper paid shooting job was to shoot and edit a video for a hostel company in London. I had to visit six or seven different hostels around the city and get plenty of iconic shots of London. This would have been easy had I not damaged my ankle only a few days before I was due to start, so I spent the entire shoot limping around.
Most recent, interesting assignments? I shot a short film that was to be entered into the Virgin Media Shorts competition. It was only a one day shoot and I'd been brought on as DoP only a few days before. We filmed in one of the oldest boxing clubs in

London and I made some great new contacts. It was a really fun shoot to be on.
I also shot a music video for a band based in Portsmouth in an old ruined monument. I really enjoy the creative process of shooting music videos and working with the director. I was given quite a lot of flexibility which was great.
Current camera equipment you use? The two cameras I own and use regularly are the Sony EX3 and Sony F3. But I also have a Canon 60D. Other gear you have access to? I use the Blackmagic HyperDeck Shuttle so I can record in ProRes or DNxHD or if required uncompressed from both the EX3 and F3, great for shooting
S-log on the F3, plenty of room to grade in post without degrading the image. I also have a thing about lights, so I have quite a selection of lighting from a portable LED kit and china balls to Kino Flos and an Arri 1.2k HMI.
What useful piece of gear do you wish someone might make? I wish there was a portable LED light that you could change the softness of the light just by turning a knob on the back, like you can with intensity and colour balance.
Best thing about your job? No job is ever the same, you're always learning and pushing yourself.
Worst thing about your job? Not knowing if I'll still be able to afford to do this job next year.
Dullest assignments and why? Speeches at conferences and anything I can't be creative and push myself with. Hairiest/scariest assignments and why? I really need to get more assignments like this! The only one I can think of is being thrown about in a WW2 side-car being driven around at great speed along a dirt track in a field for a war film I was shooting. I think we were chasing a tank!
How much 16:9 do you shoot? I shoot only 16:9.
What country do you most like to shoot in? England. It's my home and I love the rolling countryside and the coasts we have here.
What ıs your taste in music? Whatever they're playing on the radio. I like a variety and it changes so often.
Favourite food? Most Italian dishes.
