Gary has a fantastic eye for capturing the flow and intention of dance. We have worked with him for many years and the films he has made for us have been a hit with our audiences as well as our venues. He is a very imaginative and inventive artist who is always willing to go that extra mile. Absolute pleasure to work with too!

Gary's camera work is always exceptional and he has a natural understanding of narrative. He has a brilliant eye for aesthetic photography and works really well with actors too; it's a fantastic combination and I would recommend him to anyone.

Writer/Director of Skeletons. Winner of the Michael Powell Award

Gary is an excellent DoP. He makes great use of natural light to give a 'real' feel to his lighting, which at the same time has an elegance about it. As such he was a huge influence in the making of my two short films, and a vital player in the development of 'Skeletons' the feature film.

Gary is not only a highly skilled DOP, he is a joy to work with.  I have worked with Gary for a number of years and his talent for film making coupled with his kind, compassionate nature, was the perfect combination.  His technical knowledge and discerning eye bring style to any film along with a real empathy for story and emotion.  His passion for visual storytelling is evident in everything he delivers. I’m looking forward to working with him again very soon.

We have been lucky enough to work with Gary for almost twenty years and he always surpasses both our expectations and the competition. We wouldn’t want to go anywhere else for our filmed content. We can’t recommend him enough.
