Stuart Wareing is a location sound recordist and drone pilot working around the globe on television documentaries and factual programmes. With over 20 years experience on a whole range of diverse and challenging subjects, he is an essential person to have with you in your team.

Stuart has travelled the world, and thrived in often difficult conditions. His adventurous spirit, high technical standards and down to earth character, mean he has been a valuable member of an often small but dedicated team, creating beautiful, compelling and immersive content of the very highest quality.

He is a qualified drone pilot, emergency first aider, and is trained to work in hostile/high risk environments, but perhaps Stuart's greatest asset is his understanding of the whole production, learning from the editors, photographers, directors, researchers and every other expert that he's worked with for those 20 odd years.
