Born, bred and educated in Australia, I started with the camera department of the ABC in my native Sydney. I came to the UK in 1971, joining the BBC's camera department and over the next 46 years photographed some ninety complete productions as BBC staff and from 1995 as a freelance. I am experienced on both film and videotape, having worked across a broad spectrum of programme genres; from Schools Television to Drama. I have worked in almost every country, from the mountains of Afghanistan, to the sewers of the Ukraine, from the plains of Africa to the jungles of New York City. I pride myself on being able to develop a close, easy relationship with directors.

I Have a long history of shooting with old historic hand cranked wooden cameras and I am often called to work with them. At present I am shooting with replica cameras from the Race To Cinema collection. This collection of replica cameras from 1888 to 1995 was commissioned by Gordon Trewinnard who had a dream of demonstrating to people that start of cinematography started before most people believe.
