Recent Testimonials
Will is fantastic to work with, a stand out DOP. I have been fortunate enough to work with him on many occasions.
Consistantly engaged with the work, Will is always ready and willing to pull from his seemly endless reserve of ideas and talents to enhance and elevate a sequence.
No matter the situation Will brings a positive and proactive energy to any gig; bolstering the mood of the team and – crucially – making contributors and talent feel at ease, and free to be themselves in front of the camera.
Will can tailor his shooting to a variety of styles and genres, with shot composition and lighting skills that add value to any production that he is a part of.

Will is a truly exceptional DOP, equally at home crafting an image when time and budget are on your side, as he is documenting story in the most challenging of environments. He has been saving my arse for years!

“Will is a DoP of exceptional versatility. Not only can he plan and execute spectacular, glossy sequences with a creative and collaborative style, but he also has the rare ability to work calmly under extreme pressure and still manage to get extraordinary pictures on the fly, somehow always finding original angles and styles. Will’s charming, easy company leads to a happy crew, relaxed talent and makes every shoot he’s running that much easier to direct.”

I have worked with Will many times, initially with Top Gear and then subsequently on my own projects. We recently returned from an Alpine shoot for BBC2, where Will’s multi skilled approach was invaluable, switching between doc style actuality moments with contributors and capturing epic cinematic vistas. He was also graciously uncomplaining as I bounced him around in the back of a 4×4 while tracking motorcycles off road!
Grant Wardrop | Executive Producer (grant@gwproductions.co.uk)
Will, Director of Photography, filmed a documentary in Far East Russia. Nine cameras were used, to capture the great landscapes and drama for BBC2’s – The Worlds Most Dangerous Roads. We followed two comedians along the renowned ‘Road of Bones’, which is one of the harshest place on earth, due to the extreme temperature , which fall bellow -53 degree. Filming in extreme conditions and potential life threatening environments is challenging as well as rewarding, but we had a good team behind us making informed and calculating decisions , which kept everyone safe, resulting in an amazing documentary.
