I have been a Director of Photography for over 20 years, responsible for many feature films, TV series as well as commercials. Earlier I spent a number of years through the junior grades, before moving on to Camera Operator, then to Cinematographer. I have also directed two television films in Australia for the Warner Village production company.
Over the years I worked with many prominent directors, including Roman Polanski, Franklin Schaffner, John Guillermin, Mark Robson, Joseph Losey, John Glen, Lewis Gilbert, and Michelangelo Antonioni and many leading cameramen, including Jack Cardiff, Harry Waxman, Freddie Young, Jean Tounier, Claud Renoir, Gil Taylor, Alan Hume, Henri Decae, Oswald Morris.
