Extreme Environments

Engaging Story Telling

Trusted Camerawork

I’m a Director of Photography with over 15 years’ experience, specialising in adventure storytelling.

With credits including National Geographics Bear Grylls, Netflix and the BBC's Traitors, I combine cinematic visuals with technical precision, capturing powerful stories wherever they unfold — from harsh wilderness locations to fast-moving expedition shoots.

I came into the industry later than most. My twenties were spent travelling the world — living out of bags, chasing experiences, and documenting everything along the way.

Photography was always the constant. It was never just a hobby — it was how I saw and understood the world. Moving into camera operating felt like a natural step: a way to combine that instinct with a career that kept me out in the environments I love. 

Since then, I’ve built a career across a wide range of genres, including adventure, documentary, factual entertainment, drama, and reality television. I’ve been fortunate to work with major broadcasters and platforms including Netflix, BBC, Amazon Prime, Channel 4, ITV, and YouTube. 

While I’m comfortable across all formats, my focus has always been on stories that push boundaries—physically, emotionally, and geographically. Whether filming in extreme environments or capturing intimate, human moments, I aim to bring a cinematic, grounded feel to every project. 

Adventurer emains at the core of what I do: working in challenging locations, solving problems on the move, and helping tell stories that feel real, raw, and earned. 

Recent Work

Recent Work

The Chosen in the Wild is currently airing on Prime Video, where it reached Number 4 in the UK Prime Video charts following its release.

Most recently, I completed work as Director of Photography on Season 9 of Running Wild with Bear Grylls, now airing on FOX and Disney+ (Hulu).

I also spent three months in the United States filming a new adventure-led series, which is due to be released next year.

Earlier this year, I filmed in Chile for the World’s Highest Marathon, which was successfully completed at extreme altitude and went on to set a new world record.

My recent work has mainly been across factual, documentaryand adventure productions, filming in a variety of locations and environments.
