About me
I’m a skilled freelance television cameraman with 25 years experience based in Auckland New Zealand. I’ve worked all over New Zealand, the Pacific as well as more than 25 countries around the world filming and creating television documentary, news, and corporate film.
I’ve also had many years working as a producer / cameraman for one of NZ’s largest energy company’s as well as clients in the agriculture sector.
With my wife and producer Kate we run Barefoot Pictures, contracting to larger companies either as a producer/cameraman team or individually. We also produce content for the web, as well as the major New Zealand TV networks.
