Imagine that it is so cold your breath is freezing, you are in a 4×4 slipping and sliding across a frozen river and you are scared to switch off your camera in case it doesn’t start again. This is the sort of situation we can find ourselves in while working as a news or documentary filmmaker.

Well, don’t despair because I was recently joined on the Imagejunkies podcast by BBC cameraman Stu McKenzie who was based in Moscow and has worked extensively in the north and south poles. You can a view short excerpt from the interview below:
