Factual DP & Shooter
I’m a highly experienced Documentary DP & Broadcast Camera Operator with a passion for capturing real, unscripted moments in the most challenging environments. With a background in observational documentary, natural history, and broadcast television, I specialize in immersive storytelling, bringing raw and authentic narratives to life through striking visuals.
My career has taken me across oceans, into the wild, and deep into human stories—whether filming marine wildlife on rebreathers, tracking subjects in remote locations, or adapting on the fly in high-pressure, unpredictable shoots. As a Divemaster and experienced freediver, I have extensive experience working on boats, leading film crews in extreme conditions, and ensuring safety in demanding marine environments.
I thrive on collaboration, seamlessly working with directors, producers, and talent to deliver cinematic, visually compelling content that resonates with audiences. My skill set includes:
-
Cinematography & Camera Operation – Specialist in handheld, vérité, and ob-doc shooting
-
Underwater & Marine Filming – Rebreather diving, safety diving, and cage work
-
Extreme & Remote Filming – Adaptability in unpredictable and rugged environments
-
Broadcast & Documentary Storytelling – Experienced in both long-form and fast-turnaround productions
Driven by curiosity, adventure, and a love for storytelling, I aim to push the boundaries of documentary filmmaking—capturing moments that inform, inspire, and connect audiences to the world around them.
