I am a Bristol based Wildlife Camera operator, assistant and technician working in the natural history documentary industry. I am a commercially qualified diver and experienced drone pilot. I am a creative individual with a fine-art background, bringing a unique creative perspective to the film industry. My interest lies in combining striking visual story-telling, in-depth technical knowledge, and filmmaking craft to immerse audiences in new worlds, with a focus on evolving cinematic equipment and techniques.

 

 I am currently working on Blue Planet 3 as a Junior Technical Assistant Producer at BBC NHU. I manage cutting-edge underwater filming equipment, advise and support production on technical aspects of shoots and conduct R&D for custom rigs.

I began as an Underwater Camera Technician at Esprit before moving to Wildstar as a Junior Camera Technician, honing my expertise in the full-range of cine cameras, underwater setups, and remote heads for Disney+ and National Geographic. I’ve worked internationally as a camera assistant and second camera on RED cameras and gimbals. At BBC NHU, I was a Nest Camera Operator for Springwatch 2024, monitoring 40+ feeds and operating remote systems. 

 

Following this, I worked as a Divemaster on a liveaboard, gaining professional diving hours and experience in marine safety, mooring and vessel operations.
