Bacon, Ossian Resume

Cameraman

I am currently working freelance as a camera op on documentaries, drama’s, commercials and promos. My operating experience covers
observational documentary, interviews, green screen, live events, to full-scale drama scenes. I am capable of shooting without a director
and recording my own sound. I also lecture at the London Film School training their MA students on the various digital, 16mm and 35mm
camera equipment the college has to offer and techniques.
