I am a natural history cinematographer based in Humboldt County, California. After completing a postgraduate degree in wildlife at Cal Poly Humboldt, I accepted a full scholarship to join the BBC NHU’s Wildlife Filmmaking MA program at the University of the West of England. Under the mentorship of the late Miles Barton (BBC NHU), I developed a strong foundation in natural history storytelling and have since focused my professional work on contributing to wildlife documentaries and natural history series as a cinematographer, director, and scientific consultant.

Years of filming and research in the coast redwood forest (including old-growth canopy cinematography) have given me a unique perspective and allowed me to discover, pitch, and film never-before-seen animal behaviors and capture rare environmental conditions among the tallest trees in the world.
​
My skills span the full spectrum of topside natural history cinematography, including long lens, macro, timelapse, drone, high-speed, observational documentary, and presenter-led filming. I also design and build custom systems for multi-axis motion control, camera trapping, lapse-time, and photostacked micro timelapse. These craft skills were honed through years of assisting many of the industry’s leading cinematographers, including Mark Payne-Gill, Rick Rosenthal, Andy Shilabeer, Rolf Steinmann, Keith Brust, Rod Clarke, and others.
