Camera, producing and story in the field for broadcasters, streamers and production companies across Australia.

Jim Gowing – Shooter/Producer

Based in regional NSW with a strong presence in Sydney and Brisbane, I work as a shooter/producer and director on long form, character driven series, sport documentaries and factual entertainment. I’m comfortable embedded with teams for weeks at a time, equally happy flying solo or slotting into larger units.

How I can help on your production

I’m used to wearing multiple hats in the field and in post, depending on what the production needs.

Core Roles

• Shooter/Producer
• Director
• DoP / Camera Operator
• Editor (Premiere Pro, AVID, Final Cut Pro, After Effects, Photoshop)
• Drone Operator/Pilot – CASA approved (up to 20kg)

What I’m comfortable doing

My background is in observational, character‑driven storytelling – often in high‑performance environments like professional sport. I’m comfortable being in people’s space for long stretches, building trust and staying present for the unscripted moments that end up defining a series.

Technically, I’m across camera, story and post, which means I’m always thinking about how what we shoot will cut together later. I like to keep crews lean, energy relaxed and communication clear, whether I’m working solo or with a larger production unit.

• Field producing: planning shoots, running interviews, working with contributors, athletes, and talent
• Observational shooting: working unobtrusively over long periods, building trust with teams and communities
• Fast turnaround: capturing, backing up and assembling content on the road when deadlines are tight
• Respectful of access, confidentiality and brand/broadcaster expectations
• Collaborating in bigger teams: slotting into existing workflows with showrunners, series producers and post teams
