01 bio
Hi, I'm Richard but most people know me as Dz, a Manchester based lighting cameraman specialising in sports (features/documentaries), corporate work and music gigs. I love what I do and with over 30 plus years of working in the broadcast industry, I've been very lucky to have been involved in capturing some amazing footage from across the globe including extreme sports, corporate work and music gigs, working with companies including the BBC, ITV, C4, Sky Sports along with numerous smaller production companies, concert and corporate work with Creamfields, The Prodigy and companies such as Overbury, O'Neill, Pfizer, Chiemsee to name a few. I work well either within a team or by myself.

I own a range of Sony kit suitable for most shoots. Owning my camera equipment ensures that each item is well maintained and I have a thorough technical knowledge of all my equipment. My kit has been setup primarily for interviews, features and documentaries and am currently using a Sony Fx9, Fx6 and mirrorless cameras, that can be paired with either Ironnglass rehoused Soviet Cine primes and DZO Catta zooms which have a different look compared to my Sony lenses (zoom & primes) along with Nanlite/Godox lights, various modifiers/diffusion and sound kit. If you require a full kit list then one can be emailed to you.
