The Lazarus project

Second Unit Director of Photography

"I have had the pleasure of working with Stuart over a great number of years and in my opinion, his stunning imagery and understanding of the craft is absolutely second to none.

I have always found Stuart to be a wonderfully collaborative and incredibly intuitive Director of Photography. Not only with me, but also with other departments. Stuart develops a fantastic and invaluable rapport with the cast - always protecting story and performance. Additionally, he also adds his encyclopedic knowledge of film to the director's arsenal.

We have worked together in some very challenging and hostile environments and Stuart has always met every challenge with great humour and humility."
