Freelance sound recordist based in Sydney, Australia, available for any location sound recording.
 

I have a passion for real people and their stories so I'm drawn towards Ob-Doc and Documentary.

I have lots of experience working with children from pre-schoolers up to 8-12 years, also experienced working with crocodiles 8-18 foot.
 

I use a Zaxcom Nova 16 channel recorder with eleven Zaxcom timecoded recording radio mics and IFBs, and i keep a Zaxcom Nomad 12 channel recorder as backup. I have an array of underwater mics, stereo mics, parabolic mic, helicopter cables and all sorts of boom mics. I trade as a Company, DX Productions Pty Ltd, so have all Workers Compensation Insurances, Public Liablilty and Equipment Insurance.
