New Zealand
Film Location Scout.

"20 Years Experience in the film and advertising business has taught me that the most important requirement for my job is the ability to listen. It is absolutely crucial that I get a good brief and thoroughly understand what is needed to best serve the script and the directors vision. From there I can go on to use my problem solving skills and my photographic talents to secure the best possible locations for the job. I am also very mindful of the need for a location to be practical; the most beautiful place in the world is not a location if you can’t get the crew in – it’s just a beautiful place. I am very enthusiastic and positive about my work. I really enjoy the mix of creativity and practicality that each day brings."
