About
For the last twenty years, I have worked as a wildlife cinematographer on some of the most ambitious and acclaimed documentaries ever created, including Our Oceans, My Octopus Teacher, Our Planet, and Blue Planet 2.
Throughout my life, I have had various mentors who, in their own unique way, have shaped and influenced my journey in that narrow space between order and chaos..
These film projects have taken me from the frozen poles to the tropical seas and won numerous awards, including an Oscar for Best Documentary Feature, the Critics’ Choice Award for Best Cinematography, and a BAFTA for Best Cinematography.
Alongside my cinematography practice, I run The Ocean Footage Mastery Program, which helps aspiring ocean cinematographers bridge the gap to world-class
But Wildlife Cinematography was not my first calling. Post-college, I worked for ten years as an executive in the digital marketing and financial services industry.
If you are interested in hearing more about my experiences filming in the wild, book me as a keynote speaker.
