I got my first camera, a Brownie 127, when I was 8. From then on my career was clear.

After art school in the late sixties I worked as a stills assistant, where I worked mainly in fashion and advertising and then as a stills photographer specialising in music.

One day I was asked if I knew anyone who could film a concert. Of course I did!

I moved to film completely and shot documentaries for TV, 10 years or so of 20/20 for ABC and an awful lot of music promos.

In 1985 I was shooting a documentary about the making of the Pirelli calendar. It was being photographed by Terence Donovan who liked the way I lit and asked if I shot commercials.............

After concentrating on commercials for 20 years I've now started to shoot more drama, my first major motion picture is Mutant Chronicles which I spent from May to October 2006 working on, shooting main unit and then model and second unit.

This film was shot digitally and I was able to draw on my many years experimenting with digital systems, I shot the launch material for the Viper system nearly 5 years before Mutants was shot!

A sideline in the last few years has been advising people on digital technology.

I shot "The Dark Country" in 3D with Thomas Jane both directing and starring in late 2007 using a combination of SI-2K's and Red's

I then shot Streetfighter: The Legend of Chun-Li in Thailand with numerous 35mm 3perf cameras.

Wallander followed in Sweden, again with Red's.

I've been teaching workshops in Digital Cinema and 3D in between shooting.
