Hi, I'm Shane

Freelancing documentary cinematographer, 2nd shooter or camera assistant with a wide skillset and deep enthusiasm for making high-quality work.

I’ve been making films since I was a kid. Over 20 years now working on a huge variety of projects from narrative films and documentaries, music videos, muti-cam live events, corporate videos and commercials to wedding videos and online content creation.

In 2020 I decided to start a small organic farm in my hometown of Kilkenny, Ireland and created a YouTube channel called Bosco’s Garden (After my late brother), which has amassed a decent following. Through this, I am currently producing my own documentaries, mostly about natural farming, traditional crafts and other related topics.

The majority of my work in the past has been for corporate clients, however, I am now looking to move away from that and work on more creative projects like documentaries.

Filming in my vegetable garden/farm in 2021. I've recently switched camera setup from the GH5 (Pictured here) to the Sony FX3.
