Philip Millard - Cameraman
I’m a British, Paris based Cameraman, working internationally in the broadcast and corporate worlds for over 30 years.
Coming from a film background, I now tend to shoot in 4K, 2k and all HD formats working with cameras that include Sony F55, Fs7, FX9, FX3, Canon C300 mk 2 and Arri Amira, shooting in raw, S-Log, C-Log and occasionally shoot using Panasonic and Sony ENG style cameras.
I work for many of the worlds major TV broadcasters, either directly or through production companies, many based in the UK and US.
At the same time, in recent years I have acquired a number of corporate clients from around the world, many of whom are considered household names.

My main broadcast client over the years has been the BBC and I’ve had the opportunity to work on the following shows:
The Culture Show, Panorama, Hard Talk, Storyville, This World, The One Show, Gardeners World, Desi DNA, See Hear, BBC Sport, as well as many one off documentary films and series, many in the arts genres and of course the obligatory ‘Reality TV’ shows, including the BBC 2, 6 part series 'Philippe Starks Design for Life’, shot in Paris over the course of three months.
Channel Four programmes include ‘Grand Designs’ and Sky Arts include ‘The South Bank Show’.
I’m passionate about sport and was greatly inspired to film the following :
