Shot in Liverpool last autumn for @thechurchofengl

Shot in Liverpool last autumn for @thechurchofengland with @denhamsdigital. A mix of aerials, interviews and location work — capturing both the scale of the city and the more personal side of Michael’s story. Always enjoy projects like this, where strong locations and inspiring stories come together. #DOP #DirectorOfPhotography #Liverpool #ChurchOfEngland #DocumentaryFilmmaking #Cinematography #InterviewLighting #SonyFX9 #SonyFX3 #Filmmaking #CameraOperator #UKProduction #BehindTheScenes #VideoProduction #Denhams

Great day shooting in Cheshire with the A team🎥

Great day shooting in Cheshire with the A team🎥 4 cameras & 4 action cams for new sports piece. Multicam, movement and coverage all dialled in. #DOP #DirectorOfPhotography #SportsContent #TomorrowsCreative #NationalProductionPartner

The setup. The shot. A recent multicam interview

The setup. The shot. A recent multicam interview setup in an industrial space — creating a clean, controlled frame inside a big open environment. Lighting, composition, eyeline and sound all dialled in to make the interview feel polished on screen. This is the part I enjoy most: shaping the frame, refining the light, and making sure the setup serves the story. #DOP #DirectorOfPhotography #LightingCameraman #InterviewLighting #InterviewSetup #BehindTheScenes #Cinematography #SonyFX9 #SonyFX3 #UKProduction #VideoProductionUK #Filmmaking #TomorrowsCreative

BTS from last week's shoot in Manchester 🎥 On set for a live broadcast from Salford Quays / MediaCityUK with a solid 3-camera setup.
