Broadcast Testimonials
“I have worked with Dan outside in torrential rain and storm warnings, yet I had so many lovely shots to choose from in the edit because he made the best of a challenging situation and despite numerous wipes of the camera lens to get rid of rain drops, he still had a smile on his face.
He’s happily discussed scripts with me in advance and come up with suggestions on how to get the look I was after. He works hard to get the lighting right for the situation despite tight time frames and works well in any size of team.
Dan is not only a great camera operator but a really good guy to have on a shoot”.
Cathy Clarke
Director BBC TV (Countryfile, Flog It!, Great British Bake Off)
“Dan is continuously creative, always striving to get shots that enhance the story and keep the viewer watching. Dan doesn't do dull. The quality of his camerawork lifts the subject of his lens and makes the production compelling viewing.
He strives to deliver what producers want and helping them to get the best out of interviewees, events on land, in the air or out at sea. Always a team player, his commitment to any project - for corporate productions or broadcasting - is unrivalled”.

"Dan always delivers - I've worked with him in live situations under pressure and on location. The shots are always there. He is kind and wise with new directors and has the gravitas and creativity to gain the trust of old hand directors. We have worked together with a range of on screen talent and he always wins them over".
Alison Martin
Series Producer, ITV
“I have worked with Dan on a variety of projects and have always found him a pleasure to work with. Dan is a creative and composed cameraman who is willing to try new things to achieve the best narrative and visual style possible, whilst also being exceptionally good at the simple elements of actuality filming and interviews, He's easy to work with and direct, pitches in creatively with storytelling suggestions and is highly skilled with a huge range of cameras, kit and lighting. Perhaps Dan's greatest attribute is his natural ability to put people at ease - from challenging presenters to emotional families - his manner gives them the confidence to tell their story whilst Dan quietly renders it on screen in a composed and creative visual style.”

"My company contracted TQ8, while we were filming segments around Wimbledon in London. I could not have been happier with the experience! Dan is an immensely talented cameraman and a joy to work with. He's proactive, passionate and experienced in all types of filming scenarios. The footage came out beautifully! In addition, he has one of the most impressive equipment set-ups I've ever seen. I will confidently rely on Dan for all of my production needs in Europe. Thank you!"
