About me
I am a Singapore-based Scottish Director of Photography best known for my documentary work for the BBC, Channel 4 and other channels like National Geographic, Discovery and PBS. I have over 40 years' experience and have received nominations for BAFTA, EMMY and RTS awards.
My work for the BBC's Natural History Unit includes Life of Mammals, Wild China, The Trials of Life and Planet Earth with David Attenborough.
My skill with handheld camerawork has allowed me to specialize in observational filming. As documentaries has evolved, drama-reconstruction developed as a story-telling device and these can be seen in my work on films like Ape to Man, The Search for Longitude, Galileo's Daughter and The First Emperor.
On top of producing and shooting documentaries while based in Asia, I have shot Singaporean feature films, "Ms J Contemplates Her Choice" and one of the films in the feature anthology, "7 Letters" which was selected to be Singapore's official submission for the 2016 Oscars.
