Discover Top Drone Operators in Luton, United Kingdom

Hello and welcome! I am a British DP/Videographer currently based in the UK with experience shooting internationally. From 2015 I had been living, working and thriving in the Film/TV/Media industry in Shanghai, China. Over the subsequent 7 years I developed my career as a professional Director of Photography, with the majority of my experience focusing on (but not limited to) documentary filmmaking and commercials - specifically beauty, cosmetics and product advertising niches. I like to think my experience perfectly marries the aspects of shooting on location and telling a story using minimal resources with the technical aspects of managing, lighting and shooting in a studio with cinema-grade equipment. Having worked predominantly in production houses and creative agencies, I have been able to expand my skillset and work on other areas of projects where needed - both in pre and post-production. As such, I have worked as in-house editor and colourist for the other half of time I am not shooting, as well as developed production decks with creative teams, consulted for graphic design teams when storyboarding, used 3D software to mock up and pre-vis scenes, communicated with online post-production vendors and am clear and confident when speaking with clients and visiting executives in a directorial role.

Hello there! I'm Ciaran, a professional Shooting Video Producer with heaps of experience in crafting and delivering TV formats, Digital & Commercial content across a range of platforms. Having spent my career in London working full-time in Video Producer roles, I am now travelling around Europe, seeking out & filming human interest/adventure-based stories. I have always focused on human stories and ensuring the narrative is told in a compelling and engaging way. The viewer needs to connect with the subject, which usually comes through an emotional response to a place or person, and it is this which is the key to ensuring a 'take away'. I am very passionate about the work I do, and want to get the most out of every shoot I take on, whether it's a charity video for a women's school in Nepal or a commercial job for Corinthia Hotels in Lisbon.
