About Jonathan

  • Share profile:
    I am experienced and creative, having learnt skills through a combination of academia and on the job, hands-on training. I work with patience and understanding which makes me ideal for any production. My competence and ability is complimented by my friendliness and good nature.

    I am easy to work with and strive to enhance my knowledge wherever possible.

    I have learned a great deal about television production and camera techniques in my career so far and continue to enjoy developing my knowledge and gaining understanding of the profession from those around me. I believe that in order to develop myself professionally, it is important to keep the working environment fresh, new and challenging - this is why I thrive in a freelance capacity.

    I am an extremely thorough worker, and believe that it is worth putting the time and effort in to do something correctly. I enjoy working with a team, but have the initiative to work alone. With a combination of self-motivation and an eagerness to gain experience, I feel I will be a valuable member of any workforce.
