Justine Evans
Director / Lighting Cameraman
London, United Kingdom
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, award-winning 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. Along with my colleagues at Tshed, I own two unique high definition image intensifying cameras and one standard definition version. All available for hire through me or by contacting www.tshed.co.uk
