lighting directors and operators: |
|
|
Jamie is a very talented lighting cameraman with whom I had the pleasure of working on the musical special of 2 Pints of Lager. He also shot and lit many of the location inserts for various sitcoms I have worked on. |
|
|
very experienced LD, perhaps best known for many years of Later With Jools. |
|

Nigel is one of the highest-regarded moving light operators in the UK. He has also worked as LD on a few series and has much theatre experience. |

Many years ago Bernie attended the same BBC lighting course as me. He went freelance a few years ago and specialises in lighting OB events and performances including the Royal Variety and the Proms. |

Andy was the original moving light operator at the BBC. Now freelance, he has huge experience to draw upon. I have worked with Andy on many shows over the years. |

|
|
Chris is my brother and has followed a broadly similar career to mine. He left the BBC to become a freelance LD in 1999. Chris has not yet developed his own website so this link takes you to a page with his contact number. |

|
one of the UK's leading automated lighting operators, now a busy LD in his own right too. His recent LD work includes The Apprentice. |

|
There are a number of well-know LDs who do not yet have websites that I have discovered. Names such as Chris Clayton, Dave Davey, Al Gurdon, Gurdip Mahal, John Pomphrey, Chris Rigby, Mike Sutcliffe and several others whose work I respect and admire will surely appear here as soon as they create something to which I can give a link! If your website is not listed here or you know of someone I have missed please let me know. Any omissions are genuine errors. |
