One of the main reasons I started this blog was to create a space to display my photographs and build an online portfolio, with the hope that it might allow me not only to share my work, but also that it would open doors for me in the months and years to come. I amContinue reading “To Me, To UWE”

Plastic… Fantastic?
Looking around my desk right now, without opening any of the drawers below it, I can count 14 pieces of plastic. Two are single-use, one of which is recyclable: a plastic bottle. The other 12, to my knowledge, are non-recyclable. One day, when their purpose is spent, they will end up in landfill. It isContinue reading “Plastic… Fantastic?”
Three Days at Doghouse
Another month, another few days of work experience and living my dream life. This time, I headed to Doghouse Post-Productions, which is conveniently located just across the road from the BBC’s Natural History Unit, and also visible from my living room. The work I did at Doghouse was much more varied than what I gotContinue reading “Three Days at Doghouse”
Wised-up and Wisdomless
Buckle up folks, it’s time for another I-got-bored-and-made-a-film-using-whatever-random-old-footage-I-could-find-laying-around-on-my-computer short film! This one’s a bit off-piste, but it’s a style I don’t normally try so I thought I’d give it a whirl. The footage was all taken in Copenhagen, where I got my first and only tattoo while I was travelling over the summer of 2017Continue reading “Wised-up and Wisdomless”

When I first moved back to Bristol at the start of August 2017, I quickly got my mitts on a second-hand macro lens and set about making a short film focusing on the diverse wildlife in my godmother’s back garden. Inevitably, job hunting and west country weather got the better of me, and I soonContinue reading “Ant Antics”
One Week With Silverback
What do you get when you cross an over-excited wannabe wildlife filmmaker with a week’s work experience at one of the most prominent independent wildlife film production companies in the business? A literal dream come true, that’s what. And, for one glorious week, my reality. In all seriousness, and with absolutely no exaggeration, Silverback FilmsContinue reading “One Week With Silverback”
Exploring Europe IV
Chapter IV To Spain, and Beyond This video marks the final chapter of my European adventure in summer 2017 – the last leg of my journey, as I cut across France to Barcelona, Spain, spent just over a week exploring this fantastic country, then ended my trip in Lisbon, Portugal. To say that this summerContinue reading “Exploring Europe IV”
Exploring Europe III
Chapter III Heading West From Prague, where chapter two ended, I moved on to Budapest, Hungary, then west towards Interlaken, Switzerland. As with Berlin and Prague, good company kept me busy and away from my camera, so Budapest features minimally in this segment despite being one of my favourite stops along the whole journey. Horrendous weatherContinue reading “Exploring Europe III”
