About me
You’re here because you need a DOP who is also a CAA licensed Drone Op. And I am so much more than that… from starting as a set builder and being in charge of standby props on I’m a Celebrity, to shooting music videos, food commercials, drama, documentaries and sport, I’ve spent the last 18 years cementing my skills in cinematography and telling your story through my camera lens.
As well as owning a Sony Venice, I can tailor your package to whatever your needs are, and wherever you need to shoot. Find my equipment section here.
If you need aerial footage to complement your footage, more detailed info is here.
And lastly, look no further should you require additional camera operators, sound recordists and camera assistants anywhere in the UK.
I may be based in the South East, but have bases in Hampshire, Dorset, Bristol and Yorkshire… and most importantly, a passport, so you can contact me here.

Portfolio
I am a versatile DOP, being able to capture your story, whatever the genre; commercials to music videos, documentaries to light entertainment, reality to drama and also sport, both in studio and location, I love the challenges all these genres bring. From shooting on top of an active volcano in Italy to unearthing and opening long forgotten tombs beneath Sudan’s pyramids, from the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff to the peaks of Mount Everest and almost everything in between. Projects with UNICEF mean that I have completed Hostile Environment training and worked in many sensitive situations and locations in famine and war-torn countries; from hospitals to refugee camps and often in isolated villages, almost always off the beaten track. Here’s a selection of my portfolio of works.

Drone Operation
Since 2016, I have a PFAW (Permission for Aerial Work) from the CAA and hold a RPAS-RPQ qualification (Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems – Remote Pilot Qualification). With this I am able to provide additional aerial filming solutions as part of my package as a DOP.
My company, Seventy 3 Frames Ltd, is fully insured for all operations, and will take care of all safety obligations for the use of UAV’s (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) for your production and filming needs. A copy of our licence and insurance will be provided on request.
We are able to provide both moving footage and stills dependent on the specific needs of your job and can supply both the 5.2K raw DJI Inspire 2 with Zenmuse X7 camera and the DJI Inspire 1. All provided with the option of DJI 16mm, 24mm, 35mm and 55mm lenses.
Frequently Asked Questions
What about the legislation set out by the Civil Aviation Authority?
Anyone who wants to use an unmanned aircraft (UAV) for commercial activity must have consent from the CAA, which is known as a Permission for Aerial Work (PFAW). As part of this consent, the operator is required to be up to date with the CAA’s operating conditions and limitations. Typically, drones must not be flown higher than 400ft, to a distance of 500m or within 50m of people, vehicles or buildings, or over congested areas or large gatherings.
How can I be sure to pick the right company?
How fast and how long can the drone fly?
What about the weather?
How much coverage will I get?
What about safety?

I am pleased to be able to offer a package that fits your needs, however big or small, as I own a wide range of equipment which is available to hire, including but not limited to; lenses, gimbals, sliders and extensive lighting equipment. Please scroll through this section to see what I can offer.
