Sure life has lovely views along the way

Other Voices has been a full circle experience for me. I first worked at OV in 2018 as a camera trainee after reaching out to @hungrytallgirl for some work experience and then getting picked up and thrown into the action by @liam.hark . Fast forward to last December, 5 years on and I was the main unit DP for the 6-part TV series which aired on RTÉ this year. From barely knowing what a prime lens was in 2018 to managing a large crew and 9 operated cameras remotely from a vision mixing suite in 2023, I’m extremely greatful for the opportunities @tinyark , @liam.hark and @othervoiceslive have given me.
