Television

My freelance vision control services include:

• Matching the exposure, black level and colour balance of cameras on live and pre-recorded shows.
• Line up of cameras and vision monitoring equipment.
• Operation of lighting consoles.
• Setting and adjusting production lighting.
• Contact point and liaison on vision and lighting issues.

I’ve worked on a wide range of programmes, everything from sports to light entertainment and all points in between, to full broadcast standards.

I have a deep interest in lighting - important in producing the best possible pictures through vision control.

I joined the BBC in 1981, initially in cameras based in Manchester before transferring to London in 1986.

From 1988 to 2007 I worked in lighting, starting as a Lighting and Vision Assistant before becoming a Lighting and Vision Controller at BBC Television Centre.

As well as vision control at the BBC I also spent periods lighting small and medium sized productions.
