I am keen on both human stories and anthropology related ones. In the human side, I prefer stories about people who make a difference or are simply bizarre. As for the social stories, I like looking at groups of people through a camera lens; the inhabitants of a small town by the seaside and their location's history, their traditions, their Nature and everything that makes them unique; the representatives of a Freemasonry lodge and their reasons to be, their goals or their gatherings; I am interested in social stories and their impact on Society as well and a long etcetera. Wherever and whenever there is a good story with someone to give us a personal point of view and an analyst who gives an in-depth side to a topic, I shall be there covering the event. Thanks for your kind attention and for your time.

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.
