My Work
My current Reel…
With a career spanning more than two decades, I have honed my skills as a DoP / Lighting Camera person and Producer / Director, working on a global scale. My portfolio includes a wide array of productions, from broadcast TV to major brand commercials, demonstrating my adaptability and versatility.
Chop Shop
Ramsey Production

Filming, editing and post production on Ramsey Production’s Chop Shop. This pilot follows the adventures of a luxury car dealer as he searches out the very best wheels for his excessive clients.
Shot on a Sony FX30 and DJI Mavic Pro

Working as second camera with self shooting PD, John Shackleton, I’ve shot many very impressive properties as 2nd camera, drone and gimbal work.
Shot on FX9, FX6, FX3 and DJI 4k Mini Pro
Britains Most Expensive Houses
C4

Animal Impossible
BBC Earth

Additional camera work on the BBC’s Animal Impossible. This offline edit has been created from just the shots I did as 2nd camera op. The final edit was even more awesome.
F51 Skatepark
The One Show

One of many films shot for The One Show. For this I did camera work as well as drone inside the F1 skate park!

Sheep Dog

Reall
Reall develop, refine and share innovative housing models that unlock the political will, capital investment and end-user finance needed to create the conditions for hard-working families to secure their own homes.

Working as a self shooting PD with camera op Eric Huyton, I produced around 10 films to help tell their story and raise funds.
Shot in Pakistan, India, Kenya and Nigeria on the FX7 and Sony a7s.
My Aerial filming
I’m a CAA qualified “drone-op” having operated drones since 2014 and held CAA ‘Permission for Commercial Operations’ (PfCO)
I have a shared DJI Magic Pro, or in most cases I will use a DJI Mini Pro. The Mini Pro provides outstanding 4k footage, and its lighter weight helps to mitigate safety concerns and provides more flexibility for use.
I had the pleasure of working with Shackleton Films, on their exciting Somerset Supernatural pilot episode over the past few months.
Working with some real pros from the supernatural world, we’ve captured everything from talking to spirits to strange sounds in the dead of night and voices through the ether; it’s been an eye-opening experience!

BIO

I will often work as a self-shooting PD, or I'm just as happy as a camera or drone operator, being equally at home working with a large team or left to my own resources. I fully understand the need to have excellent communication skills and have developed the ability to have true empathy with
the contributor and subject matter, whatever the conditions.
I have done most of my commercial work through my production company, Olaus Roe, where I work with a great team that provides Motion Graphics, VFX & Post-production as well as additional filming support. So, if you need a crew or additional equipment, we can help you with that.

I've been a qualified drone operator since 2014, and have used an ever-changing array of camera kit over the years. Currently I’m mostly working with my own FX6 kit and DJI Mini Pro 4k drone.
