Around the corner in Soho - then the epicentre of film production - the buzz of the editing rooms, camera rental companies and film labs was intoxicating and I knew I wanted to be part of that world. As a camera assistant I gained experience working on music videos, feature films and documentaries throughout the world learning the importance of collaboration alongside leading film makers - Sally Potter, Ken Loach, Dick Pope and Alexei Rodionov among them. I got my break as a cameraman on the BBC series Great Railway Journeys in the mid 90’s and I have been shooting documentaries and docu-dramas for British and American television ever since. I like the unpredictable nature of observational filming, it’s closeness to real life. I strive for realism whether documentary or dramatised, listening and responding to the story unfolding in front of me. <img width="100" height="100" width_o="100" height_o="100" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a70cad770b2f30fba1a154a007bef542a2fdbf0ccba5fdf708efd6d8b4b85853/Emmy_1.png" data-mid="71110812" border="0" data-scale="4" data-icon-mode src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/100/i/a70cad770b2f30fba1a154a007bef542a2fdbf0ccba5fdf708efd6d8b4b85853/Emmy_1.png" /> Emmy Photography Winner&nbsp; https://manfridayfilms.com/Mike_Featured_Video-copy Sun, 07 Aug 2022 13:16:42 +0000 Man Friday Films https://manfridayfilms.com/Mike_Featured_Video-copy https://manfridayfilms.com/Mike_Featured_Text-copy Sun, 07 Aug 2022 13:16:42 +0000 Man Friday Films https://manfridayfilms.com/Mike_Featured_Text-copy The Real Mo Farah Directed by Leo Burley BBC &amp; Red Bull Studios for BBC 1 The revelatory story behind Mo’s true identity - the journey he made from Somaliland as a young boy, his unhappy years at school here and the long road that led him to winning gold at the Olympics. https://manfridayfilms.com/The-Queen-s-Green-Planet Fri, 15 May 2020 09:44:50 +0000 Man Friday Films https://manfridayfilms.com/The-Queen-s-Green-Planet The Queen’s Green Planet Featuring a unique conversation between the Queen and Sir David Attenborough as they walk in the garden at Buckingham Palace this film explores the ambition of a new initiative - a vast network of native forests across Britain and the Commonwealth countries, protected in the Queen’s name.Directed by Jane TreaysINT Productions for ITV https://manfridayfilms.com/Monty-Don-Adraitic Sun, 07 Aug 2022 20:39:49 +0000 Man Friday Films https://manfridayfilms.com/Monty-Don-Adraitic Monty Don’s Adriatic Gardens Monty travels to the Adriatic coast, exploring gardens in Venice, Croatia and Greece.
