Commercial DOPI'm a commercial DOP shooting TVCs and online campaigns for brands, agencies and production companies.
Clients include Ferrari, Maserati (with David Beckham), Ford, Nissan, Amazon, Coca-Cola, Mazda, TUI, Honda Marine, Talisker and Sharps Brewery. I work as lead DOP alongside a director, or across the whole job from idea to delivery.
Advertising is where I do my most ambitious work: cars on mountain passes, boats at sea, cameras in the water. I bring kit and crew scaled to the budget, and a calm, can-do attitude that keeps a shoot day on track.
What I bring to a commercial
A clear look agreed with the director and agency before the shoot.
Camera and movement planned around the board: Alexa 35, Ronin 2, Ronin 4D, MōVI and remote heads on tracking vehicles.
Specialist shots in house: aerial, underwater and tracking, so the look stays consistent.
Experience abroad: over 30 countries, carnets, local crews and fixers.
