I’m an Aussie living in Africa but working wherever the wildlife calls. I’m a passionate wildlife lover and conservationist at heart with a need for technical excellence in what I do.

What is it that I do? For the last 13 years I’ve worked as a wildlife photographer and more recently cinematographer for clients such as National Geographic, WildAid, Africa Geographic as well as NGOs and major retail brands.

I’m a published author with three books under my belt and a pesky fourth that’s been hanging over my shoulder for a good year or so now ... I’ll get there. I sporadically make videos about wildlife and photography to share my passion and some tech advice. This is an area I’m looking into developing more in future.
