Brian Uranovsky Cameraman

BRIAN URANOVSKY SASC
Freelance DOP and Perfect Horizon Stabilizer Specialist
Bath, United Kingdom

I started my camera career in traditional film and was mentored, amongst others, by one of Jacques Cousteau’s diving colleagues. I have 29 years experience as a Lighting Cameraman/DP, 19 years for SABC. With wide-ranging expertise in African & international filming, I’m an expert in helicopter aerials, have great sea legs and am fully competent with HD filming; I filmed four times in the Antarctic – a place on this earth which I love, despite the extreme temperatures and camera challenges.
I am now living permanently in the UK based in Bath
