"Hatred of humanity and love of animals make a very bad combination"

Konrad Lorenz

This quote was imprinted in my head at a young age, leading me to study social anthropology - foundation upon which I place my videocamera, exploring human-animal interactions and coexistence around the world.

​

I’d probably start by telling you that my favorite book is Wolf Totem by Jiang Rong. Maybe because, deep down, I’ve always considered myself a bit of a nomad — constantly drawn to wild places, long journeys, unfamiliar cultures, and stories that sit somewhere between people and nature.

I’m an Emmy Award–winning documentary cinematographer specialising in wildlife, ocean, and environmental storytelling. Over the years, I’ve filmed across five continents, often working in remote, unpredictable, and high-risk environments to tell character-driven stories about the natural world and the people fighting to protect it.

From the North Atlantic to Micronesia, Papua New Guinea, Fiji, and Tuvalu, I’ve worked as a topside Director of Photography and Field Producer on international expeditions with organisations like National Geographic Society’s Pristine Seas and The Paul Watson Foundation / Neptune Pirates between 2023 and 2025. A lot of my work lives at the intersection of conservation, adventure, and human resilience — usually involving rough seas, long field deployments, and a camera permanently covered in salt.

In 2023 I was selected for the American Society of Cinematographers Vision Mentorship Program (2023–2024), and became one of five recipients of the AbelCine, ARRI and ASC Fresh Perspectives in Cinematography Grant, which supported my latest underwater short film, POLICE DIVE. The film premiered at the Double Exposure Investigative Film Festival in Washington, DC, and later received a Capital Emmy Award for Best Cinematography.

Alongside documentary work, I also spent years working in narrative film and television as a 2nd AC on productions for BET+, HBO Max, and STAN, while shooting short documentaries for platforms including ABC iView, VICE News, and PBS Reel South.

I originally studied film in Australia and worked there for seven years. Australia still feels like my favorite place in the world — the landscapes, the ocean culture, the sense of freedom — and it shaped me deeply both as a filmmaker and as a person. But life kept pulling me further across the Pacific, and these days I’m based in Oʻahu, Hawaiʻi, while continuing to work internationally as a freelance documentary cinematographer.
