Underwater Cinematography is my passion, from the tiniest macro subject to the largest battle scarred Great White Shark I love filming them all. I enjoy challenging myself to capture incredible detail of the tiniest subjects, including some never before seen animal behaviours and bringing them to the world. I am based in Adelaide South Australia and I specialise in documentaries and the natural history of our oceans. I am currently working on an exciting new 6 part Netflix series for ‘Best Production Company’ as Underwater DP. I own and operate a Nauticam V Raptor Underwater Imaging System with Red DSMC3 VV 8k V Raptor, as well as a JJ-ccr closed circuit rebreather.
