Islander specialises in water cinematography, with an ability to film in rough seas and dangerous coastal areas, such as big-wave breaks like Mullaghmore in Country Sligo, Ireland. Oliver grew up on the north coast of Northern Ireland and has spent much of his life exploring the depths around the shores of Ireland. Combining water with his profession as a cinematographer is his life’s passion.
Safety is a foremost concern when shooting in water. Coastal areas are dangerous places and knowledge of the sea, tides, and safety procedures is crucial to reducing the risk in such locations. We can provide water safety in the form of a Jet Ski with an inflatable sled and a certified operator.
