SOUND RECORDING
I always use my own equipment, investing only in kit that is renowned for its quality and reliability. I test and maintain it before each shoot at my base in Dorset, and also out in the field.
I like my kit to be both lightweight and powerful, but most of all, it has to be reliable in tough conditions.
I use Sound Devices mixers, a range of mics including Schoeps boom mics in mono, stereo and surround configurations. Audio Ltd A-10 wireless systems, and lavalier mics by DPA and Countryman.

ENVIRONMENT
Having seen first hand some of the impacts of climate change, I believe a sustainable and green future is to be embraced right now. I am a passionate believer in using renewable energy sources, reducing waste and encouraging collaboration with like-minded suppliers and clients.
While on location I always use rechargeable batteries for everything from sound mixer and radio mics to head torches. I don’t use single use plastics and always have a supply of fresh water and reusable mugs and flasks.
Most recently I have started using a fully electric vehicle as
my main work transport, forcing me to change habits and perspectives when it comes to driving long journeys in the UK.
I record my mileage and flights using a carbon calculator provided by climatecare.org and offset the CO2 used by donating to a portfolio of best practice projects that help protect the environment and local communities worldwide.
