Whatever you need…
You may need a low light camera, close up macro lens, a 1000mm long lens, borescope/periscope lens or an image intensifier, specialist lighting for a particular shot or production, don’t worry these can be easily supplied. In fact, no matter what shot you may have in mind and are not too sure how it can be achieved, just give me a call.
And when you are cold, in the depths of winter, and in need of a hot tea or coffee I have just the job in my van. And when it’s the middle of the summer, cold drinks from the fridge. Biscuit tin and sweetie jar are kept under lock and key.
