My Toolkit.
BSc Zoology
Studying Zoology at the University of Bristol, I’ve explored everything from animal communication and behaviour to the impact of artificial light on marine life, blending my passion for wildlife with a strong foundation in scientific research.
Photography + Camera Operation
I'm a passionate photographer and camera operator, capturing the beauty of wildlife, landscapes, and the people I meet along the way. An accredited Sony VENICE 2 operator, I also have hands-on kit room experience rigging and operating a range of cameras including RED, FX6, and Sony A7s, as well as DJI Ronins for shoots.
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 or developing ideas within a production company. I believe in the power of stories to connect people with the natural world, spark curiosity, and inspire action. My aim is to seek out adventurous subjects and turn each narrative into a journey that truly resonates with audiences.
About.
I'm building my career in factual TV, working on natural history and adventure content that connects people with our planet. I've worked for National Geographic and Plimsoll Productions on content for both traditional TV and YouTube, combining my Zoology degree from the University of Bristol with a love for wildlife and adventure filmmaking. Whether it's showcasing incredible animals, cultures or following humans pushing the limits of what's possible, I'm driven by one thing: sharing the stories that help people connect with the world around them.
