Documentary.



With a crew or flying solo, I handle many formats, with artful coverage, clean audio, and across all interview styles. I work hard to build trust with the people I film, and I am always focused on story.



Branded.



Working with ad agencies, production companies or directly with a client's marketing team, I create product and customer profiles, branded micro-docs, social content and more.




Freelance.



If you are a producer crewing a project or looking for a reliable, travel-ready operator, I can help. I bring over ten years professional experience across the full range of production environments.



“Ash is a natural filmmaker. He has a knack for making people feel comfortable so that they can just be themselves in front of the camera.”



Pete Russell, Founder, Ooooby



"he was so much more flexible and adaptive than I was expecting when shooting in an unpredictable environment. ...his sensitivity to the culture ...his adaptive nature... he is someone you can depend on to get the right footage. Plus, he's got a sense of humor!”



Susan Varghese, Communications & Marketing Officer Shofco


“We have received so much positive feedback about the film from NZ and around the world, and it has opened up international networks that will aid the growth of the project.”



Juliet Arnott, Founder, Rekindle



"The roles that Ash took on were many and varied... Throughout the 16 sleepless days on tour, Ash maintained professionalism, perfectionism and positivity. We couldn’t have done it without him”



Amy Hayden, Account Manager, Mango Communications



"Many thanks for doing such a terrific job for us... you really captured the feeling and mood... and managed to hit our brief squarely on the head”
