Raldi Somers
Lighting Cameraman
IJsselstein, Netherlands
Following an assignment from a travel agent to shoot a promotional video, I have been able to travel to Antarctic and Africa many times on photographic and filming expeditions. On these trips I have gained experience in filming on remote destinations and in extreme conditions.
In addition to this, I have travelled several times to Asia and the Middle East for underwater filming. Material from these trips has been or will be used in various productions, including a national television commercial of Honda USA and the television film “Ice”.
At present I work as a freelance cameraman and am I shooting wildlife that will be sold as stock footage. Having worked on several smaller productions, I have been able to get involved in other aspects of the production, like research and planning.
