ABOUT
As a 15 year-old schoolboy, Nick won the prestigious BBC Search Film Competition with his 8mm sound documentary, Noise. The prize was to direct a short film on a subject of his choice with a BBC Film Crew; the subsequent film was later broadcast on a Search programme. This spurred Nick on to want to work in film and television. Nick won a place on the 3 year Film and Television course at West Surrey College of Art and Design (now the University for the Creative Arts, Farnham).
On graduating he joined the camera department and started his career as an assistant cameraman. As luck would have it, he was soon offered jobs as cameraman. His first assignment was to shoot the Red Arrows USA tour, quite a flying start! For the next few years he shot documentaries in over 60 countries.

Productions worked on include many BAFTA and RTS award winning productions including, Bodies, Pompeii – The Last Day, Terry Pratchett’s Johnny and the Bomb, Nuremberg: Goering’s Last Stand and Skins – for which he was personally nominated for BAFTA and RTS awards for Photography and Lighting, and the Guild of TV Professionals Award for Excellence.
Other credits include all episodes of the first season of Our Girl, for which he won his second Guild of TV Professionals Award for Excellence. The Syndicate, The Interceptor, The Replacement, Mansfield Park, Mr. Selfridge, The Paradise, The Split and Poldark, for which he was personally nominated for a second RTS Award for Photography and Lighting.
