Available to hire
I am a documentary filmmaker and camera operator with extensive experience on conservation and wildlife projects for the Jane Goodall Institute, The Guardian, RTL4, Dutch Public Broadcasting, and South African Television and Live Events. I thrive in dynamic field environments and bring a hands-on, collaborative approach to every shoot.
I’ve worked in challenging environments—African savannah, desert, and rainforest—and pride myself on being tech-savvy, fit, honest, a team player, and hard-working. I enjoy humor, enthusiasm, and a strong willingness to learn, qualities I bring to every project I’m involved in.
