Ossie Bacon | Director of Photography, Lighting Camera Operator, Drone, Adventure Camera Operator, Camera, Camera Operator, Cinematographer, Drone Gimbal Operator, Videographer

I am a Director of Photography (DOP) with over 20 years experience in factual, documentary, branded content, corporate and drama reconstruction. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working on BAFTA Award-winning programs alongside renowned talents like Bear Grylls and Sir David Attenborough, and for the biggest streamers, networks, and blue-chip companies.

​My expertise lies in operating multi-camera setups in both normal and extreme environments, and I have gained extensive experience working across the globe in challenging locations such as jungles, glaciers, deserts and mountains. By embracing these environments I am able to capture compelling and inspiring footage for the production.

I'm able to work independently, shooting footage without the need for a director, whilst also recording high-quality sound. My diverse experience encompasses factual programming, drama reconstruction, capturing sequences for complex technical setups, observational documentaries, aerial shots from helicopters and drones, gimbal operation, interviews, utilizing green screens, operating Steadicams and covering live events.

​Equipped with my own Sony FX9 camera kit and lighting equipment, I am fully prepared to handle a full spectrum of production requirements. My extended network of rental companies also enables me to provide competitive rates for any additional equipment required.

​With my extensive background in the industry, coupled with a diverse skill set and quality equipment, I am confident in delivering exceptional visual storytelling for any project I undertake. Please take a look at my website: www.ossiebacon.com
