Nuttgens began his career with the BBC TV for the Natural History documentary unit in 1984, and rose up through the camera assistant ranks, and by the age of 25 he was one of the youngest film cameramen ever in the BBC.[5] After many years living in Paris, he relocated to Barcelona in late 2003. He is fluent in English, French and Spanish.

Although best known for independent films, he also has worked on major commercial productions such as Enola Holmes, Hell or High Water the Star Wars prequels, Battlefield Earth and Swimfan.
