SamLewis
CINEMATOGRAPHER
 

My main skills include long lens, underwater and macro/motion control setups. I am also a fully licensed CAA drone pilot to help supplement my primary skills. I like to maintain a diverse skills set as I believe improving in one area of camera work helps develop new and innovative techniques in other areas.  

My career has taken me all over the world to some of the most inhospitable places.  I have worked in the jungles of Asia, South America and Africa, the frozen landscapes of Greenland and Russia and in several of the Worlds oceans.  I relish the mental and physical challenges of different shoots whether it is keeping up with a troop of Chimps on the move or coming up with a new camera setup to capture an event in a never before seen way.  When a studio shoot is required to capture a behaviour, I have extensive skills in set design and lighting having worked across Tiny World and The Green Planet. 

I am very familiar with the latest technology and like to innovate when possible. For me capturing character and emotive reactions in subjects is an extremely important aspect of film making and I like to keep an eye out for cutaways which will add to the emotional power of a sequence.

Please feel free to drop me an email to talk about any ideas you have and I will happily work to make them become a reality.
