From one-off billboards to banks of content for premium brands and digital campaigns, Craig has built his photographic reputation on crisp quality and fast turn around times.
AERIAL CAMERA OPERATOR

"Craig excelled in all the five vital aspects of content creation - creativity, application, energy, initiative and follow through.
Over the course of two years Craig worked with us on six high value, big brand projects, all of which produced the kind of work that finds its way into best-of-breed portfolios. Above all, Craig's attention to detail and non-negotiable insistence of the best quality possible, stood out.
Few collaborations have been as rewarding, as easy and as satisfying, for both client and cinematographer."
