A little about me…
It all started when…
I drew an invitation to say thank you… I was 8 years old… My artistic skills caught the eye of the woman who would give me a start in my career at age 17. She invited me to come and work for her during the easter holidays as a layout assistant at her magazine. Then again for the summer holidays and I never looked back. I quickly proved myself by moving up the ranks as a photographer and left the graphic design world behind me to concentrate on photography. When the digital world started to take over I decided to train as a reporter cameraman. That was over 25 years ago… I am now an experienced lighting cameraman in sports, documentaries and live television. Later on I trained to become a TV Director and since then enjoy working either behind a vision mixer or a camera. A couple of years ago I decided to link the camera work with directing by taking some editing courses… And here I am today
With over 10 years as a TV Director and 20+ years as a lighting Cameraman it would not be possible to list every single documentary, event, show & live program…
These are just a few highlights of my career so far…
