Steve is understated, unflappable and delivers a very high standard of work, both technically and creatively. Although he's fun to be with, he takes our business very seriously. I have no hesitation in recommending him.

Richard Maude, Director

It has been my great pleasure to work with Steve as a Director over many years and he remains my cameraman of choice. His meticulous eye for detail, sensitive and creative approach, and impressive and quality equipment package gives any project undertaken with him on board a distinct advantage. I would therefore have no hesitation in recommending Mr Lord to any Director or production company seeking a confident and safe pair of hands!
