I'm Richard Hubbard, a Perth-based media professional with 15+ years across location sound, drone cinematography, camera and technical broadcast. I hold a Bachelor of Broadcasting Communications and am a member of the Australian Screen Sound Guild — which awarded me Best Sound for Documentary in 2025 for Yurlu | Country. I've recorded for National Geographic, ABC, Seven Network, Fox Sports and Endemol Shine, on everything from natural history and travel to drama, reality and ENG, on land, sea and in the air. I pride myself on calm, positive energy under pressure and making the edit easy — and I make hiring a local WA crew effortless for productions coming from interstate or overseas.
