TESTIMONIALS
This is from the heart…Everyone needs a Graeme. Not only are his lighting and camera talents brilliant he’s also a fantastic person to have on set. Something that’s universally loved by those who get the chance to work with him is that not only does he have an ability to create beautiful pictures that serve the story but he’s also a brilliant person to have in your team because his self confidence, without ego, has a calming and unifying effect on those around him. There’s no situation that’s a problem and I’ve found he helps make me a better film maker. In short, he’s talented, focused and a nice guy. Everyone needs a Graeme.
