bio:

i'm ollie, a dp and drone operator, driven by an ambition to help share the stories of our world, rendered in beautiful images.

my work has taken me across the planet, with each new story and environment inspiring creative new visuals and bringing with it exciting technical challenges... like 3 airport trollies and a busy terminal! never one to be daunted by new technology i'm always tinkering and adapting the latest equipment to be able to capture stories in a unique way that most compliments them, without limitations.

i'm regularly hired for both specialist-factual and natural history documentaries, feeling as comfortable 'on-set' as i do in nature. my credits reflect the versatility of my skills base, and my ability to thrive in a range of different shooting styles. they include disney's emmy award nominated 'the world according to jeff goldblum', bbc landmark 'a perfect planet', and national geographic's darren aronofsky led spectacles 'one strange rock' and 'welcome to earth'. i'm currently engaged on a number of landmark series for major international platforms which are under nda and due to hit screens in the coming years.
