bio
The New Forest in Southern England is a magical place of ancient beauty. It had a massive influence on me as a child, and still does as an adult. As a keen young climber and wildlife photographer I became obsessed with exploring the forest canopy. Those formative years defined my future choice of career as a wildlife cameraman. They also taught me rope skills, persistence and how to be patient.
In 1997 I was given my first full-time job on a Hollywood production in Morocco. I was invited back to England to work at Shepperton Studios but it wasn’t for me, so headed to Bristol to enter the world of wildlife film.
My first break with the BBC came in 1998 when they sent me to film in the rainforests of Borneo. I’ve since been lucky to work in dozens of countries and spend extensive periods living and filming in very remote wilderness locations. I’ve been honoured to work alongside hundreds of inspirational people, not least Sir David Attenborough and HRH Prince William.
