Matt Ford | Director of Photography, Lighting Camera Operator, Camera, Self-Shooting Producer/ Director, Drone

Matt is an experienced DOP & Lighting Camera Operator with nearly 20 years experience in shooting Factual, Factual Entertainment, Documentary, Reality & Branded Content/Commercial projects across the globe in almost 100 countries. He is a positive & versatile addition to any team; experienced in cross-shooting on larger-scale, multi-camera projects, but equally at home in situations that require a smaller, stripped-down, single-camera approach.

He has a strong handle on both the creative and the editorial (having spent the early part of his career in the edit), making him also effective in the role of a Self-Shooting PD.

Matt is well travelled & comfortable in working in more extreme situations: trekking and filming in the Atlas Mountains, lensed busy food market scenes in North Africa (in 45°C heat), experienced anacondas & piranhas in the Amazon and shot on fishing boats in the North Atlantic ocean.

Highly organised, technically-minded and level-headed, he adapts well to working under pressure or to tight schedules, but never compromises on attention to detail.

Whether it be beautifully lit & stylised interviews, thoughtful shot-design or orchestrated camera movement, Matt can bring a lot to your project’s aesthetic.
