I have been a cinematographer on feature dramas since 1998. In this time have been fortunate enough to work on some terrifically exciting and fun projects with visionary directors. That is not to say that everything has been a bed of roses. Television drama is a tough business working to very tight schedules and uncompromising budgets. The successful outcome of a project is most affected by the ability to complete the schedule effectively. Knowing how to adapt with confidence as the pressure of time bites is the test of experience. Part of the art is an ability to work successfully within these constraints, turning limitations to advantage.
