Freelance Lighting Cameraman,Christian Testa

I am a highly skilled and experienced television cameraman based in South East England. With a diverse range of experience across live television, news, current affairs, sport, drama, cooking, music, light entertainment, and corporate projects, I bring a wealth of expertise to every shoot. I have worked on some of the most demanding and high-pressure productions, both in-studio and on-location, and have a reputation for delivering top-quality footage under any circumstances. In addition to my extensive experience, I have also operated remote head PTZ setups for prestigious clients such as Channel 4 and Amazon. Please explore my website to learn more about my skills, services, and how I can help make your next production a success.

I own the Blackmagic Ursa mini pro 4.6k, which can be set up with either a B4 par focal Canon zoom, or a range of Canon and Sigma EF lenses. Should you need a smaller, or more discrete form factor camera, then my Sony A7s 3 will perform brilliantly. With its excellent high frame rates and astonishing low light capabilities it can operate as capably as any of its larger cousins.

I am available to work as a Camera Operator, Lighting Cameraman or DOP with or without equipment hire.

My kit includes all the necessary tools you should need for a single camera shoot including Lenses, cameras, ancillaries and camera support; however if you require any other lighting, sound or specialist equipment, it can be hired at competitive rates. Please contact me to discuss your needs.
