       I'm an experienced longlens wildlife cameraman and drone operator having filmed for award winning wildlife documentaries for over a decade.

       I've filmed on every continent from the 'lost worlds' of South America's Tepuis right to the Northern-most tip of Arctic Canada and Antarctica's high and remote Nunataks.

       Having established myself as a specialist behavioural longlenser, I have recently been moving into stabilised camera systems. In 2020 I filmed a number of sequences for a, soon to be aired, BBC/Silverback series using various vehicle based Cineflex and GSS.

Of course, there is no getting around the fact that I use planes a lot. Some wildlife documentaries are attempting carbon neutrality and in fact some of them unofficially already are. I personally offset my own travel through the wonderful work done by MyClimate.org. Click the link for more information
