About

Emmy‑nominated camera operator/cinematographer with over a decade of experience capturing long‑lens, drone, gimbal, thermal and macro sequences in environments ranging from Arctic winters to tropical rainforests.

I’ve worked extensively with major broadcasters including the BBC, Apple TV+, Sky and Channel 5, delivering high‑quality visual storytelling across complex field shoots and studio setups.

I bring a strong technical skillset, commercial drone qualifications and a calm, reliable approach to challenging productions.
