I’ve filmed all over the world with Ant and he has never let me down. Consistently fantastic shots, creative ideas and overall a pleasure to work with. Good humour is guaranteed too!

I first worked with Ant in the early 1990’s covering news and features for Sky News so have known him for over 25years.
He’s passionate about camerawork and lighting and has a keen eye for detail, always offering creative, thought provoking shots.
He’s fast and efficient - even in challenging situations and has a solid technical knowledge. He’s good fun too!
All in all Ant’s a pleasure to work with and would always be one of my first choice cameramen.

When you’re traveling from the US to shoot in the UK, you only have one chance to get everything right and Ant helped every step of the way.
He is totally reliable, full of ideas and always provides excellent equipment and crew. I wouldn’t think of using anyone else when filming in Europe
