Director / Lighting Cameraman / Sound Recordist
Full Member

My film camera career began in 1991 after I completed film school at the Bournemouth & Poole College of Art and Design. I am a very versatile sync and wildlife camerawoman and have many years filming experience in tropical, temperate,desert and arctic conditions. Qualified as an IRATA level 1 climber, I have spent long periods working at height especially in tropical forests. I also have much experience working at night with image intensifying and infra red cameras. I own a unique standard definition image intensifying camera and am building a high definition version that is due to be completed in summer 2010. Just completed and available for hire is the high definition infra red camera, available through me or by contacting www.tshed.co.uk
