About

I am a cinematographer specializing in natural history and wildlife documentaries. My work has taken me to some of the world’s most remote and extraordinary locations—from the dense rainforests of West Africa to the vast landscapes of Latin America—filming on productions for BBC, National Geographic, Disney, Netflix, Smithsonian, among others.

I specialize in long-lens cinematography, capturing intimate wildlife behaviour and character-driven stories that foster empathy and a deeper connection with the natural world. Whether working in dense tropical forests, remote wilderness areas, or challenging low-light environments, my focus is on creating cinematic, emotionally engaging imagery that brings audiences closer to the lives of wild animals.

Technical expertise includes:

  • Operating RED and ARRI camera systems.
  • Filming from hides, off-road vehicles, and boats, with experience across a wide range of terrains and environmental conditions.
  • Night and low-light cinematography.
  • Thermal and infrared imaging systems, including Selex and multi-IR technologies.
  • Rope access techniques, with experience filming from forest canopies during both day and night operations.
  • Camera trap deployment and operation, including Tshed and Cognysis systems.
  • Drone operation, including DJI Mavic and Inspire platforms.
