BIO
Story listener & teller.
My work ranges from big budget commercials with top-tier production houses like Stink and Furlined, to intimate portraits of unknown heroes in remote settings.
I’ve climbed a mountain with Jimmy Chin, sat in a freezer with Wim Hof, and explored the ocean floor with Alexey Molchanov.
I've lived with an indigenous female climbing crew in Bolivia, a shaman in Indonesia, a survivalist in the Turkish desert, and a child soldier in Africa.
I invented the GoPro canine rig, put a camera on the edge of the earth’s atmosphere, and made too many films about dogs.
I am location-independent, working mostly between Europe, Los Angeles and SE Asia, with a home in Cape Town. Please reach out to see I am currently.
"It’s not often a man with a great camera eye also has a brain that’s questioning the status quo."
