I'm a 26 year old wildlife cameraman based between Bristol and the West Coast of Scotland. My goal is to find and film engaging, exciting and educational wildlife stories to help promote the protection of our beautiful natural world. I'm a huge advocate for re-wilding within the UK and protecting wildlife worldwide and strive to help conservation efforts and educate people on the importance of the natural world through my films.
