Wildlife Camera Operator Scotland
Natural History and Presenter-led content
I am a wildlife camera operator based in Scotland. I am a BAFTA New Talent winning filmmaker with over seven years of experience as a lighting camera operator. Building on my work as a documentary camera operator I was driven towards a move into natural history. With a passion for the great outdoors and conservation, I was seduced by Scotland’s wilderness and wildlife.
I enjoy the rigours of wildlife filmmaking more than any other type of camera work -most recently I captured the elusive Pine Marten for natural history series ‘Great Britain’. Other excursions have seen me at sea and climbing mountains, who wouldn’t want this job!
I am most experienced filming within the forests, uplands and coastal environments of Scotland. I am also very familiar with the Cairngorm region including Rothiemurchas Estate, the Islands of the Firth of Forth, Skye and the Great Glen region.
