Who we are : the team
Whilst the Photron high speed cameras offer performance and reliability, just as important is an experienced operator. Obviously, they have to know the camera functions but also provide an insight into how certain events/objects will look at high speed. Frame rate and shutter speed are key points in capturing great high speed shots and their correct selection comes with experience. Should you require a high speed camera operator, we have experts on hand.
Mark Johnson - Company Director |

Mark has a background
in engineering and sports science. He used early VHS
based high speed cameras back in 1997 to film sprint
athletes. He founded Slowmo along with former Photron
agent Bob Sharp in 2003. Bob's contacts enabled Mark
to quickly gain experience in a range of high speed
applications such as ballistics and product testing
and also hire cameras to the Natural History unit at
BBC Bristol. From then on, Slowmo with the support from
Photron Europe Ltd, has grown successfully each year
providing high speed cameras for nearly every type of
application and production. Mark has filmed pretty much
everything in slow motion so feel free to contact him
to discuss your high speed camera requirements. |
