I was born in Oxfordshire in 1983 and have been diving and taking pictures underwater since the age of twelve. After participating in a ‘try dive’ with my family whilst on holiday in the Florida Keys, I was instantly hooked and learnt to dive in the UK before going on to log thousands of dives worldwide whilst working in various jobs where my work focused around shooting video and images underwater. For almost ten years I worked as a cameraman for the Save Our Seas Foundation, documenting research projects, conservation initiatives and expeditions around the globe.
In 2015, after working as a freelancer for a year whilst based in Cape Town, I was selected to join the BBC NHU under the 'camera bursary' scheme, being awarded the first ever bursary focused on underwater filming. For two years I worked exclusively on the 2017 BBC series 'Blue Planet 2', spending over 500 days in the field filming everything from Nudibranchs to Sperm whales, in over twenty locations across the globe.
I’m now back working as a freelancer, operating from my base in Cape Town.
Since ‘Blue Planet 2’ I have worked on various productions including Nat Geo ‘Hostile Planet’, BBC ‘Seven Worlds, One Planet, ‘Frozen Planet 2’, ‘Mammals’, and ‘Planet Earth III’ as well as a number of other projects for Disney+ and AppleTV+.
With close to twenty years of diving and shooting experience in some of the most remote parts of the worlds oceans, as well as the ability to shoot drone and long lens, I bring a broad set of skills, experience and extensive field craft to any marine shoot.
