In addition to having pitched and filmed novel sequences, I draw upon my field experience and biology knowledge to assist with often-complex behaviour. I take pride in using creative ways to film macro behaviour outside of the studio, when possible.

I enjoy using a variety of camera techniques in behavioural sequences from classic long lens to extreme macro, for example when capturing a life-cycle.

Having started as a stills photographer and currently working on photographic projects, I enjoy incorporating attention to detail and a frame that evokes the senses, along with artistic composition into my cinematography.

I also have experience working in editorial throughout the entire production process, so I’m informed to communicate and understand the needs of a production well.

I also have sync / interview experience and enjoy building rapport with on-screen talent to form the trust and friendship needed to ask engaging, important, and sometimes sensitive questions.

Prior to working on broadcast productions, I lived in the Namib Desert for two years at a remote research station. I researched, wrote, filmed, narrated, and edited my own independent science/wildlife documentary on how Namib flora and fauna have adapted to survive in the harsh desert environment.

The film was distributed on DVD and shown in schools throughout Namibia as part of a capacity building initiative in environmental education.

I also catered to the needs of film crews in the Namib, including sand dune driving, collecting and handling of wildlife, and working directly with on-screen talent.

Subsequently this has given me a host of useful contacts including fixers, ministry officials, scientists, dependable local crew, and a wide range of Namib stock footage - so please don’t hesitate to get in contact.

FILMMAKING

In addition to natural history, I have a strong interest in archeology, anthropology, and ethnographic film with experience working with and filming indigenous communities.

I am currently collaborating with Bath Spa University on a cross-disciplinary Arts and Humanities research project.

Additionally, I am currently making an independent documentary about the Topnaar people of the central Namib. I self-produced, shot, wrote, narrated, edited, and worked with translators for this film.
