Wildlife & documentary camera operator & drone pilot.

Fresh off a Junior Camera Operator role at the BBC Natural History Unit for a Landmark BBC One wildlife series, I’m now stepping back into the freelance world.

I cut my teeth by self-shooting and editing a variety of short form content for NGOs and Universities in-between second shooting and camera assisting for broadcast. I now specialise in Blue Chip long lens, gimbal and drone work, and am comfortable operating for sync.

By bringing together 5 years of professional photography and filmmaking experience with degrees in zoology and science communication, I combine a high level of technical competency with an understanding of how to convey story and emotion through cinematography.

A more comprehensive overview of my experience is available on my CV.

I’m always happy to chat over the phone/email, but much prefer to catch up in person if we both have the time!
