About Me
Nicholas Paton
Through ten years of freelancing I’ve had the benefit of working on an eclectic range of projects:
​
from shooting documentary in dynamic environments to operating camera in a controlled set or studio;
from editing fast-turnaround three-minute promos to crafting long-form documentaries and narrative fiction.
In addition to the work below, I've produced numerous independent corporate films, coverage of live music, theatre & conference events, and several comedy and drama short films.
