Ash shot an interactive film I directed and I cannot recommend him highly enough. The shoot was complicated not just by being interactive but we also had to shoot in portrait. Ash rose to the challenge and produced absolutely amazing imagery all the way through. He was a great collaborator on set who I always felt I could turn to. He was relaxed, easy going and a great communicator to cast and crew.
He was unbelievably well planned before the shoot, having lighting plans prepared for all of our locations as well as working with me for many hours to shotlist the whole film. He was also easily able to adapt to the myriad of issues that can happen during shooting.
