‘The Light’ – Spanish Shoot
Last week we wrapped photography on ‘The Light’, a Short Film set in 1950′s America. The film is Directed by Si Cookson, who won this year’s The Pitch – Film Competition.
Here we are shooting out in the Tabernas Desert in the south of Spain. It was such an incredible location to use as the film’s backdrop.
We also found time to shoot a small advert for Enter the Pitch, which just happened to be next to the pool!
Celebrity Super Spa – Titles Shoot
Just completed a title sequence shoot for a new Channel 5 show, Celebrity Super Spa. All shot on RED Epic at 75 FPS.
Santander – Commercial
Here are a few frame grabs from a recent commercial that I shot for Santander with Jenson Button. The commercial is a spoof perfume Ad, and pretty much required lots of pensive looks from Jenson! A very funny and memorable job to work on. The Finished Ad to follow soon. Shot on RED Epic with a set of Cooke S4 primes. Directed by Richard Mullane
‘The Light’ – Short Film
We’ve just wrapped on the UK shoot of ‘The Light’, a short film, set in 1950′s America that centres around the McCarthy Red Scare era. We are due to shoot the final leg of this film, out in Spain next month, to complete photography. Shot on the Arri Alexa with Ultra Primes. We decided to pay homage to some of the 1950′s filmmaking techniques, please see our rear projection car sequence below (including a frame grab. Directed by Simon cookson / Produced by Luke Walton & Jackie Sheppard.

I recently shot an advert for UGG Boots, for a new design competition that they’re running. Here are a few behind the scenes shots and frame grabs from the UGG Boot ‘Spotlight’ shoot. Here is a link to the finished advert – UGG Spotlight. Shot on RED Epic with a set of Zeiss Ze Primes. Directed by Russell Agro.

Phil studied at the Northern Film School, where he was formally trained in Cinematography and the art of lighting. Working entirely on film formats throughout, he gained the skill and discipline of his craft. After completing the course with a distinction grade, he immediately started to work freelance as a DoP.
Phil regularly shoots Commercials and Drama, and has shot three Feature Films to date. Recently he has worked on some high profile projects, such as the BAFTA Nominated short film 'The Voorman Problem', starring Martin Freeman and Tom Hollander. Phil has had the pleasure of working internationally, shooting Features and Commercials all over the world. He has worked on projects that have been screened at film festivals in Europe and the US, including Raindance and Cannes Festivals. Phil was recently nominated for the Best Cinematography Award at the Cork film Festival 1012, for his work on 'The Voorman Problem'
As a Cinematographer, Phil believes his role is to support the Director's vision. He is a problem solver and a creative collaborator, who ties in the technical side of filmmaking to the artistic. Phil has a strong visual aesthetic and is able to put a great deal of production value on the screen, regardless of the budget.
