His broadcast credits include 3 Winter Olympics, 2 Summer Olympics, and a Royal Wedding; showcasing his ability to deliver world-class footage under pressure.
A specialist in cutting-edge camera technology, Ben has filmed numerous natural history documentaries. He operated the remote cameras for Channel 4’s Hippo: Nature’s Wild Feast and Elephant: Life After Death, spending time on location in Africa, the Bahamas, Tasmania, and beyond. These demanding shoots helped him develop expertise in filming in extreme environments and managing highly complex setups. Ben also led the first-ever multi-camera fixed-rig documentary to be filmed outside the UK, safely transporting and coordinating a large crew and more than a tonne of equipment for a ground-breaking project in Ethiopia.
His personal documentary portfolio includes a long list of award-winning series, including 24 Hours in A&E, One Born Every Minute and Educating Yorkshire.
Through these productions, and co-founding the CCC, Ben has become a trusted unit manager and fixed-rig expert, playing a key role in delivering many of The Complete Camera Company’s most ambitious projects.
