Working for Captive Minds as a camera and drone operator on a Channel 4 television series set in the Norwegian fjords is both visually spectacular and technically challenging. Each day involves navigating dramatic landscapes of towering cliffs, glassy waters, and shifting weather systems that can transform the scene in moments. Operating drones through narrow valleys and over cascading waterfalls demands precision and careful planning, especially with sudden gusts of wind funnelling through the fjords. On the ground, capturing the scale and atmosphere requires a keen eye for composition and storytelling. The long daylight hours of the Nordic summer offer incredible opportunities, but also test endurance. It’s a role that blends creativity with resilience, ultimately delivering breathtaking footage that showcases the raw, cinematic beauty of Norway’s coastline.
