I am a filmmaker and media diver available for work as an underwater camera assistant, second camera, kit technician/runner and safety diver/supervisor. I am technically-minded, a clear communicator with a sharp eye for detail and am a fast and committed learner. I'm a team player, used to working under pressure and using my initiative. I'm open to work in all genres but have particular experience in natural history and adventure.
I have experience in researching, filming and editing topside and underwater shoots for a range of conditions and subjects both in the UK and abroad. I also have experience working with and filming on-screen talent, including presenters both topside and underwater. I have been the camera assistant and dive supervisor on a variety of projects, including a landmark blue-chip natural history production for broadcast television.
I'm a commercially qualified diver (HSE Scuba) and a rebreather owner/operator used to working and diving in remote and unfavourable conditions. I have five years experience creating online video content for a variety of clients before focussing on underwater film and TV production. In my free time I love staying active in the outdoors and am a keen climber and freediver.
