He was a genuinely nice man, a gentleman, and it is so sad to hear this news. He DP’d Focus Pulled, Clapper Loaded hundreds upon hundreds of commercials alongside his feature career dating back to the 80’s. Our love to his family.
‘Really sad to hear this news – Geoff had a magic eye and created some of our most stunning cinematography, whilst always being professional and generous with his talent. He’ll be missed. My condolences to all family and friends.
Very sad news. Happy memories of working with Geoff way back at the end of the 80´s.
