John — Broadcast Lighting Cameraman

Belfast-based, with almost 30 years behind the camera, I've built my career on a simple idea: the picture is everything. Whether the brief is a fast-turn news story or a long-form documentary, the standard never changes — broadcast quality, every frame.

Career

My career began in regional news and quickly extended to staff and freelance work for the BBC and other major broadcasters. Over the years I've covered hostile environments, breaking news, and major sporting and political events — at home and abroad.

Specialisms

• News gathering — single-camera ENG and live broadcast
• Factual broadcast documentaries
• Corporate films and brand storytelling
• Commercial productions
• Interview lighting and small-crew shooting

Production facilities

I bring a fully-loaded broadcast kit — professional camera bodies, prime and zoom glass, location lighting, sound and grip — so most projects can be turned around without a separate hire bill.
