About Me

I am a natural history and documentary cameraman. My professional experience to date includes filming in Africa, Asia, South and North America on blue-chip and other wildlife series for the BBC Natural History Unit and National Geographic.
Experienced and competent, and working with the newest cameras and formats, I have been lucky enough to travel to over 50 countries, and both filming and stills shoots all over the UK and Ireland.

With a lifelong obsessional interest and knowledge of the natural world, I come from a background in zoology and I have extensive experience observing animals in the wild. My work has centred upon being particularly technically minded and applying both new and speciality filming techniques to some of the harshest filming environments.
Combining technical ability and creative flair I have the ability to build well-rounded wildlife and also obs-doc sequences. Please see 'credits' for my most up to date projects.
