About

I’m Darcy—a Leo Award-nominated Director of Photography, Camera Operator, and Advanced Drone Pilot. I specialize in unscripted stories, from documentary and doc series to reality TV, branded content, and music video, bringing a fresh, authentic visual approach to every project.

I’m regularly hired for documentaries, doc series, reality TV, corporate, and music videos, and am known for adapting my style to fit each production’s story and for my ability to operate in a range of different shooting styles.

My extensive gear package includes the Sony Burano and FX3, and I am highly proficient with these systems. I am also very comfortable operating across a wide range of cinema camera platforms, including ARRI, RED, and Sony, and I adapt quickly to new technologies. My experience includes advanced gimbal operation, with extensive hands-on work using systems such as the DJI Ronin 4D-8K.

​

I’m fully certified as a commercial drone pilot, holding an Advanced RPAS license from Transport Canada, a US FAA Part 107 certificate, and an EASA (EU) Open Category A1/A3 certificate. I have logged extensive hours navigating complex international airspace and have recently executed complex interior and exterior architectural captures across Canada, the US, Asia, and Europe.

​

I thrive in challenging environments—rigging on a tugboat, shooting from a helicopter, hauling gear up a mountain, or lighting interviews and recreations, both in the field and indoors. I am always prepared for long, sometimes physically demanding days, staying fit for those that require stamina and agility. When the logistics are tough, and the creative stakes are high, I bring a calm, collaborative, and solutions-focused energy to every shoot, always aiming to create images that are both authentic and visually compelling.

Based in Vancouver, BC, and available for regional or international freelance travel.
