Jonny Leeder

I'm a Self shooting PD with a passion for tech and storytelling and I have a track record of working under pressure and delivering storylines in difficult situations from scripting to realizing these on location. Originally from the North East I recently moved to Doncaster from June '22 after nearly a decade living in London.. 


An FX9/kit owner I can light and shoot any situation creatively (as well as use many popular cameras) and use/own a very wide range of cinematic equipment. 


I’m often working with actuality heavy series with an ensemble cast while turning real life content into high stakes narratives. Experience filming process driven engineering, mechanics and natural world content as well as working with the emergency services, filming and conducting interviews with police and sensitive contributors, working in remote, adventurous and confined environments on factual programmes with presenters and leading a small crew/working solo. Within entertainment and reality I’ve worked across studio and location based youth skewed programmes and used to dealing with contribs of all ages and backgrounds. I pull together stories through building relationships with contributors, often in a short amount of time, and having an eye, and ear for what makes a great story. 


My goals for 2022 include expanding my edit producing experience, ideally of shows I have shot, and laying the foundation to series direct going into 2023.
