Mark Waters

Mark Waters was the most dominant director of photography on the first two series of Torchwood. His series 1 work received a Welsh BAFTA. This made him only the second DP or lighting director — after Ernie Vincze — to have won a mainstream, competitive award for work on a Doctor Who universe show.

In 2009, he moved to The Sarah Jane Adventures for the show's third series, on which he was the only DP. He finally joined the parent programme in 2010, providing his services for a single two-part story in Matt Smith's first series of Doctor Who, and again from 2014 to 2017, contributing to multiple stories in each of Peter Capaldi's three series.
