My name is Jack Swart and I have worked with cast and crew sizes as large as 1500 people and as small as one. More often than not, however, I find myself alone, researching, shooting, interviewing and doing the edit on daVinci Resolve. I find cutting my own work makes me a better shooter. Was inspired by 6 months in Africa on Mad Max Fury Road and 12 months around Australia shooting travel docos. I have the skill set and experience you are looking for. I bring to the table 20+ years behind the camera, and just about as long editing what I have shot. I am super quick on daVinci Resolve Studio 18 for editing, motion graphics and colour grading. I have three Super 35mm 4K digital cinematography Cine Alta Sony PMW F55 cameras, Zeiss lenses, sound, lights and daVinci Resolve edit and grading suite.

I started my career in photojournalism in 2010 because I couldn't resist the challenge, the travel, and the urge to tell the world stories from my home, Indonesia. My background is in humanitarian aid, working in remote parts of Indonesia after the devastating 2004 tsunami. As a freelance photographer, I cover major breaking news events for international wire services like Australian Associated Press (AAP). As a freelance videographer, I cover major documentary stories for international TV outlets like Swiss TV. When I go to both natural and man-made disasters, I draw on skills from my NGO life - quick thinking, sensitivity and understanding of difficult environments. I also have training in working as media in hostile environments. In 2013, I won Reuters Photo of The Year for my image of an ash cloud billowing from Sumatra's Mount Sinabung volcano. The award was not the peak of my career, but the beginning: of new adventures, stories and collaborations in this fascinating corner of the globe. Indonesia has thousands of stories to tell, including some urgent environmental and social challenges that deserve the world's attention. I have a record as being a reliable and experienced operator, working ethically and with open communication with clients to get excellent results.
