About the tutor
Steve Ager
Award winning professional cameraman and editor from a broadcast television background
Steve is a professional cameraman and video technology consultant, having worked and travelled extensively with the BBC, Reuters news agency and the Financial Times for 25 years.
During that time he has also trained journalists and broadcasters in camera, sound and lighting skills – from teaching new trainees “Television Fundamentals”, to location-based news shooting and instructing print journalists on how to film with their iPhone.
It was his passion for photography that helped Steve gain access to the BBC and a career in television. He is a keen street photographer and can sometimes be seen sipping a coffee and resting his feet at the Photographers Gallery.
We are delighted to have Steve on board with us at The Mango Lab and he has already successfully guided some of our Teens in our first photography courses this summer 🙂
