SIMON BUTCHER

Director of Photography

About me

I am a skilled Director of Photography, winner of a Knights of Illumination award, I’ve shot several BAFTA winning shows and have over 15 years of experience. Having worked on a huge variety of television dramas and with a background in fine art, I always bring something extra to every project. From a background in documentary and multi camera shows and live music events, coupled with extensive drama experience, I bring multiple skills to every production. I am totally at ease with both single and multi camera and I also have considerable experience in all aspects of both aerial and stunt filming. 

An adept and encouraging team leader I have developed many teams both large and small. I am able to work within budget while still bringing creative solutions to any project and am able to run these effectively in order to ensure best value to a production company. 

Having worked with many producers and directors throughout my career, I am adaptable and versatile, able to flex my style, whilst also advising on best practice and approach within the parameters of a shoot. 

I also regularly lecture film studies undergraduate students and am current on all safety and best practice certifications.
