Simon’s experience over a twenty-year career as a DoP is as wide as it gets. Starting in documentary, he has successfully moved into narrative, working across long-running drama series and shorts. Coming from a fine art background, he has a strong aesthetic eye, balanced with commercial and practical sensibility. He is popular amongst directors and producers alike, described as a “great team player with one eye on the schedule and the other on the creativity”. Simon is based in London and available for work worldwide.
“Simon is the complete package Director of Photography. His lighting is beautiful, efficient and creative and his eye for composition is first class. He brings a calmness and professionalism to the toughest of shoots and is an absolute pleasure to work with and I would absolutely recommend Simon to any production.”
