Lydia Stott

Hi I'm Lydia. I'm camera assistant / operator brought up in New Zealand but currently working in London.

Since arriving last June I've worked on commercials, music promos, television dramas and short films. I'll never say no to a job so please get in touch!

I also take a lot of photos, this is how I spend my spare time. 99% of the pictures on this site are mine. In a second life I'd like to be a travel photographer but that can wait for now.

~ I photograph on a Canon 7D - 15-85mm & 50mm 1.8
~ I use my 7D to film but I've also worked with Alexa, Red, 5D, Sony F3 EX3, P2
~ I love messing around with old cameras.
~ Huge passion for music. I know everyone says it, but you'll never find me without it. Also play a couple of instruments but nothing amazing.
~ Tell me what you think of my photographs please! Be harsh, I want to improve

Also, feel free to leave a message. I often wonder who looks at this site. Thanks!

Amsterdam and Berlin this weekend :)

I can’t wait for the 11hour coach ride to Amsterdam, the red wine i’m going to sneak on to drink myself to sleep, the 6 hours in Amsterdam where we’re exhausted and dirty but can’t go anywhere until our host arrives from Turkey, the coffee shops knowing that we have to be up and hitchhiking in the snow the next morning, the freezing cold while we wait on the side of the road somewhere between Amersfoort and Helmstedt, the moment my camera batteries die from the cold and it becomes nothing more than a brick, arriving in Berlin realizing our host has no bedding and neither do we, the 3 day bender for my 21st while my friends are on the other side of the world, and the Ryanair flight where I try to jam a suitcase worth of stuff into 1 cabin backpack.

I sound like I’m complaining. I’m not, honestly! I can’t wait. Its going to be an AMAZING weekend of fun and antics :)

Still the best song I’ve worked on a promo for …

A Viral I worked on for Samsung last week. Shot on Alexa.

This resembles the current state of my computer. Time for a new one I think!

Part Time Work?

Desperately looking for some part time work around East London! If anyone knows of something in photography, film and television, even just cinema or photography shops I’m definitely keen. I just hope I keep within the general ‘camera’ industry!
