I am a Director of Photography shooting high profile award winning History, Science and Arts films and landmark Observational documentary series.

I have worked both in the UK and internationally organising and collaborating with local lighting gaffers, camera operators and grip teams.

My experience as a DOP is wide ranging - from cinéma vérité and observational, to leading large scale multi-camera shoots involving full symphony orchestras and 80 piece choirs. Recently I have trained and become licensed in drone work to augment the skills I can bring to the production.

I can work well independently and accommodate local conditions to editorialise illustrative footage

I have experience in Covid conscious filming techniques to protect contributors from risk and set their minds at ease. 

Film-making is my passion. I enjoy variety and am keen to to continue working across the full gamut of filming - from observational films to high production value documentaries to ambitious large scale lighting productions.

TESTIMONIALS

​

Richard Brock

TV Producer

Vaughan is an excellent DOP, with an eye for detail and a determination to get everything absolutely right: he made our set up interviews look fantastic. He is a tireless worker who will go the extra mile to get the shot. He has a good sense of humour, someone who is good to work with. I heartily recommend him.

John Bridcut

Owner / Director Crux Productions

Vaughan is a first-rate DOP, inventive and imaginative, and a great companion. He shot two of my BBC Four documentaries, about Elgar and about Rostropovich, which look really fabulous. I've been lucky to work with him.

David Wilson

Vaughan is a wonderful, creative and resourceful DOP. He has lit/shot countless films for me, including many of my absolute favourites. Great times in Ethiopia, South Africa, Greece, Northumberland, you name it.
