DOP. CAMERA AND DRONE OPERATOR. EDITOR
I have been filming natural history for over 10 years and have acquired a varied skillset spanning specialist drone operating, steady cam, long lens and camera trapping. I thrive on the challenge of capturing unique wildlife behaviour in a dynamic and cinematic style.
I have excellent working experience as a marine drone operator filming killer whales and sharks from the air, as well as using specially modified drones to capture intimate footage of snow leopards at kill sights. I have expert knowledge when it comes to camera trapping high altitude wildlife such as snow leopards, wolves and ibex, as well as a many months behind a long lens filming jungle and high altitude species around the world.
I have excellent practical experience tracking and locating snow leopards, jaguars and chimpanzees as well as excellent knowledge of British wildlife behaviour.
