About

I’ve spent over 15 years working as a cameraman, lighting camera operator and sound recordist on productions for the BBC, Netflix, Amazon, Ch4 and Sky, and I bring that broadcast experience to every project. As a Sony FX6/FX3 owner-operator with a full lighting package and grip kit, I can work as a one-person crew or as DoP / Cap op on a larger team.

At One For Safety we create thoughtful, high-quality film content with a strong documentary sensibility, working with brands, organisations and individuals across testimonials, commercials, branded content and bespoke storytelling.

The approach is simple: real stories, told well. Whether we’re capturing authentic testimonials, crafting polished commercial films, shooting social-first vertical content or developing documentary narratives, we focus on clarity, credibility and human connection. Based in London working across the UK and worldwide.

Production Process

Brief

We start by getting a clear understanding of your audience and goals. This allows us to shape a focused brief that aligns the project with your objectives from the outset.

Pre-production

Our creative team develops a tailored video strategy, covering concept development, scripting where needed and detailed storyboarding. We also plan the shoot logistics, including locations and equipment, to ensure a smooth production process.

Production

On the shoot day, our crew arrives fully equipped with professional cameras, lighting and audio gear to capture high-quality content in line with the approved plan and storyboard.

Post-production

This is where everything comes together. Through editing, sound design, voice-over, colour grading, animation and motion graphics, we craft a polished final video that brings the concept to life.
