My Toolkit.
BSc Zoology
I hold a BSc in Zoology from the University of Bristol, where I explored everything from animal communication and behavior to the impact of artificial light on marine life, blending my passion for wildlife with a strong foundation in scientific research.
Photography
I'm a passionate freelance photographer, capturing the beauty of wildlife, landscapes, and the people I meet along the way. With experience shooting on a Sony A7 IV, I've honed my skills in everything from underwater photography to dynamic drone shots, always aiming to tell a compelling story through every frame.
Drone Pilot
As a certified A2CofC drone pilot, I’ve navigated diverse landscapes to capture stunning aerial footage, from the rugged cliffs of Skomer Island to the vibrant streets of Bristol. Whether it's for wildlife documentaries or creative projects, I love using my drone to provide a fresh perspective and bring stories to life from above.
Story Telling
Storytelling is at the heart of everything I do—whether I'm behind the camera, writing a blog post, or producing a short film. I believe in the power of stories to connect people with the natural world, inspire action, and spark curiosity. My aim is to make complex subjects engaging and relatable, turning every narrative into a journey that resonates with audiences.
