My diverse experience encompasses factual programming, drama reconstruction, capturing sequences for complex technical setups, observational documentaries, aerial shots from helicopters and drones, gimbal operation, interviews, utilizing green screens, operating Steadicams, and covering live events.

I am adept at operating cameras in any terrain, ensuring that the desired shots are achieved. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working on BAFTA Award-winning programs alongside renowned talents like Bear Grylls and Sir David Attenborough.My expertise lies in capturing multi-camera setups in both normal and extreme environments, and I have gained extensive experience working across the globe in challenging locations such as jungles, glaciers, deserts, and mountains.
