My experience enables me to contribute as a producer or director to wildlife and marine documentaries. Many of the most successful shows I have worked on resulted from strategic co-production partnerships with established production houses.
To date, I have featured in over 30 shark and marine documentaries for international broadcasters. My primary role is as an innovative shark and marine scientist / expert
Qualified RPAS (Remotely Piloted Aircraft System) pilot with extensive experience in collection of wildlife and marine footage. Currently filming with DJI Mavic 3 RPAS system
Qualified SCUBA diver with extensive experience diving with and videoing sharks, whales and marine life. Currently filming with Sony FS7 and A7S mkiii housed in Nauticam underwater housing
Extensive experience in local fixing (permitting, crew referral, service provision, logistics etc.) for documentary films located in both Southern Africa, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands
Specialist guide and marine scientist able to successfully guide and protect crews / talent during interactions and filming of predators and in challenging environments.
