About Me

I’m Steve Lawton. After ten years as a senior cameraman at TVNZ, working on current affairs and most major prime time programmes, my wife and I moved to the Bay of Plenty for a better lifestyle with our two young boys… and hopefully more time to surf!

I went freelance because I wanted to use my filming and photography skills to help businesses produce quality content, for marketing, profiles, events or online. I also wanted to offer broadcasters the chance to use my skillset for stories and projects throughout the Bay region, as well as nationally and internationally.

Today I continue to have a strong foothold in the broadcasting industry, filming various stories for all networks. I also work with both local and national companies on various projects. I love that every day I get to to use my story-telling and camera skills to help businesses and individuals get their message across in a powerful, memorable way.
