About Me


I am a lighting cameraman / videographer working out of London, UK. I work fast and to the brief, and take notes very well. I can work as a one man band, taking the project from start to finish myself, as well as lead or be part of a team to produce higher budget results.

You can reach me at joel.strawbridge@gmail.com or +44 75 622 66049.


Work History


Too Bald Clowns
During the second half of 2023 I started editing and sound designing the currently unreleased animated tv show “Too Bald Clowns.” I also handled some light compositing.

Taharoa Ironsands
During 2023 I also started producing, shooting, and editing all the video content for Taharoa Ironsands, including marketing materials, internal documentary materials, and recruitment videos.

EmployNZ
Throughout my career as a freelance videographer I have remained on contract with EmployNZ, an education provider with offices across New Zealand. I have produced all their video content since 2019.

The Wellington Chapel on Cambridge
During 2023 I was hired as a videographer on all of the chapel’s concert videos, shooting with up to six cameras (alongside other operators) and providing a multi-cam edit the next week. The videos ranged from one to two hours long.

Office of The Clerk / Parliamentary Service
2020 saw me spend a lot of my time working with the Parliamentary Engagement Team producing, shooting, and delivering several video projects, including the majority of their induction videos, a series of videos educating other Parliaments about how our OOC works, and a series of videos interviewing leaders across PS, OOC, and party offices.

BATS Theatre
In 2022 I was hired by BATS Theatre due to my experience filming live theatre to create a videography division for them. This included purchasing the necessary gear, writing budget proposals, creating example videos and how-to documents on how to reproduce them, hiring videographers, and developing training programs for them. I also ran several live streams.
