BOOKS
"Through The Viewfinder"
My first book “Through the Viewfinder” is a highly opinionated look at how to operate a television camera. This is based on interviews with many people I have worked with; their views and opinions are a highly revealing portrait of what happens behind the scenes in television production from a cameraman’s point of view. Included are not just my own views on the ups and downs of camerawork but also those of producers, directors, actors and other people closely involved with picture creation for television. This book is aimed at young cameramen and media students wanting to be truly professional but would be of interest to anyone who wants to know what goes on behind the cameras that bring so much into our homes.
