About
I’m a natural history cameraman based in Bristol (UK). I have a lot of experience filming humans too. I can self-direct and have produced and edited. Most of my work is for television and online streaming platforms. I also apply my skills to help local and international conservation projects, ethical businesses and scientific research.
Outside of work, I can often be found rock climbing or paddling on a river. Another favourite pastime is developing my small garden into a mini nature reserve.
