Giles made the transition into film production, initially serving as an assistant to a number of still photographers on notable projects such as Goldeneye, Tomorrow Never Dies, and Elizabeth, The Borrowers.

When he’s not on set, he has a passion for car restorations, with his latest endeavour involving a 1983 Range Rover classic.

Based in the United Kingdom, Giles continues to make significant contributions to the film industry through his exceptional craftsmanship and unwavering dedication to his craft.
