Why this, not an agency

You're looking for a cameraman with his own gear. That's exactly what this is.

Many crewing services in Brussels work as brokers — they connect you to a network of freelancers they don't own equipment with, and don't operate themselves. Here, the cameraman you talk to on email is the DP behind the camera on set, and the gear is already in the van.

Typical crewing agency

  • Subcontracts a freelancer from their network
  • Equipment sourced from a rental house, added cost and delay
  • You often meet the crew on the shoot day
  • Extra time needed to scale up for a bigger crew

This setup

  • You deal directly with the cameraman/DP shooting — 20+ years experience
  • Camera, lighting and grip package already owned, ready with a day's notice
  • A trusted network on call to scale from solo to full crew, fast
  • Recent references: FIFA World Cup, The Voice, EU Summit, various TV shows, corporate & commercial shoots
Services

Four ways to work together

Book what you need — a solo operator, a full package, a podcast studio, or someone to run the livestream.

01

Cameraman & DP, own gear

Book the cameraman directly — camera, lenses and lighting package included, not rented in. Steadicam also available when the shot calls for it.

02

Podcasts & Interviews

Lit, framed and recorded to a broadcast standard — single-camera or multicam, on location or in a dedicated podcast studio.

03

Livestream & Multicam Events

Conferences, panels and corporate events — up to 9 synced full-frame Sony FX6 and 6 Sony PTZ cameras, with crane, slider or drone added to the capture, streamed live to YouTube, LinkedIn or your platform of choice.

04

Crew Scaling & Studio

From a solo operator to a full crew within days, plus a 600m² studio in Uccle when the shoot needs one.

Equipment

One call. The full kit arrives.

Camera, optics, lighting, audio, movement and prompting — packed, tested and ready to load same day. Nothing here gets sourced from a rental house after the shoot is already confirmed.

About

"I run my own production company, I own the gear, and I still hold the camera myself."

Based in Brussels, working as a cameraman, DP and Steadicam operator since 2004, through my own company, Backfocus Prod, since 2019 — built around owning the gear rather than renting it in job by job. Comfortable carrying an interview, a podcast or a full event capture alone, and able to bring in a trusted crew fast when the job needs more hands. Credits range from the FIFA World Cup and EU/NATO summits to national broadcast entertainment, sport and brand campaigns.
