Read MoreI am a wildlife photographer and aspiring filmmaker currently based in Reading. Recently, I have graduated from Marine and Natural History Photography at Falmouth University, and am looking for opportunities to develop my cinematography and storytelling skills further in natural history filmmaking.
I am inspired by films that promote empathy for nature and motivate change, as well as those that tell stories of human connection to nature, and provide hope for the future. By helping people to see themselves as a part of nature, instead of apart from it, is a crucial step towards more sustainable action.
My passion for wildlife filmmaking and photography began through watching classic David Attenborough documentaries, along with lots of time figuring out what I wanted to pursue as a career. The combination of exploration, adventure, conservation, wildlife and art made wildlife filmmaking the perfect fit.
At university I began to learn filmmaking and made two short behaviour films on the life of robins and frogs throughout the year. Alongside this I have worked in a team as a camera operator for a student film group NatureWatch. More recently, I have worked as a wildlife videographer for a week for Heal Rewilding, to provide footage that showcases the diversity of wildlife at their rewilding site.
Alongside film work I have been working on getting experience in outdoor adventure and exploration. Partway through my degree I embarked on an expedition and joined British Exploring Society for 3.5-weeks through the Canadian Yukon, with no prior experience. Since then, despite the challenges this trip involved, this experience has solidified my goal to explore as much of the natural world as I can.
