The epic story of Victor Vescovo’s mission to be the first person to go to the deepest point in every ocean has been released on Discovery Plus 5 x 45mins. Taking you to each ocean, on an expedition that needed firstly a submersible that could achieve that, that was yet to be invented.

During lockdown I had the time to put in to some of the photography awards. With some successes which was a good pick me up during those unusual times.

If you want to watch the results of all the drone and sound work I did, plus the beautiful camera work of Paul Williams in Antarctica, it has now been released in the UK.

Definitely a career highlight when an Attenborough film comes knocking on your door. To have my 6 minutes of Attenborough time now on air, as not only as a sound recordist but doing the drone cinematography is a dream come true. And to be assigned to film the work of Sea Shepherd alongside that of the marines and fisheries of Gabon was…

Here is the teaser for a documentary I was involved with as the aerial cinematographer and sound recordist during the Antarctic summer of 2019. It’s first airing this Thanksgiving weekend in the USA. I’m so excited it’s going out after all this time, having been delayed by Covid.
The film is presented by Laurence Fishburne…

During lockdown I have been busy getting together a fine art photographic collection. I have titled this collection Endurance Collection, as I took them in the place that Shackleton’s ship Endurance was recorded to have sunk after being crushed in the ice. Deep within the Weddell Sea gyre in Antarctica…

Since lockdown has caused many people disrupted sleep. Here is a long-form film I put together, feel free to share to other non-sleepers.
I made this from footage I shot on my iPhone and edited with iMovie whilst filming out in the Maldives in October 2020 between lockdowns in UK. It wasn’t planned, I am an impulsive image collector, but I enjoyed putting the shots together and making the film one night. I hope you find it chilled and relaxing

Just before we had Lockdown 1 in the UK, I went on a filming trip to the Falkland Islands to do the sound and drone shots. We were filming for Square…

Explorer and master of the deepest points on the planet, Victor’s February 2020 submersible dive was to the deepest point of the Mediterranean Sea in the Hellenic Trench. Alongside was his co-pilot and guest, HSH Prince Albert of Monaco on his first dive.

It was fun to be back on-board Pressure Drop, a vessel and it’s crew I know very well…

For the next year I will be working on this film for Discovery. We will be travelling to every ocean to film a record breaking attempt to go to the deepest point in each of the 5 oceans. We should come across some pretty cool creatures too.

Here is the teaser we filmed in August in the Bahamas. I did the drone shots on the Inspire 2 with the X5S camera. (I have just taken delivery of the X7 camera and will report back on the test shots.)

Sound has been captured often on this job purely on the new Audio Limited digital A10 radio mics. These fantastic radio mics allow me to capture sound in the submersible, even when it is at the bottom of the ocean.

I have created ‘Extraordinary, Ordinary, People’ with the images I took whilst out in Liberia and Sierra Leone in 2014/15 celebrating the front line workers / healthcare workers during the Ebola crisis.

I have put together portraits with personal stories and articles. In the back ground there are 4 large cloths printed up in black and white illustrating the grim reality of their day to day lives. In the foreground, in colour, is a 1m/1m  print of 100 portraits of everyone who worked in the ELWA 2 Ebola Treatment Unit, ETU, in Monrovia, from the security guard to surgeon Dr Jerry Brown who started the ETU. Included on this sheet are 3 people who also had full-page portraits published in Time Magazine in December 2014 ‘Person of the Year’, The Ebola Fighters, edition.

Alongside the portraits are images and text that

In July I was invited to take some pictures at the Andrew James workshop in Batcombe.

Most of the artists regularly attend painting workshops and Andrew James has a long waiting list. For some it was their first time using oils, for everyone it was a successful workshop.

Here is a short photographic film of their work and the atmosphere in the workshop.

News has come through that I will be off to BM19 to complete a photo-story that I have been working on in collaboration with designer maker Richard La Trobe-Bateman and seasoned 'burner' Kurt Westerlund.

At Kurt's invitation Richard has designed the 'Gap' bridge, an exciting design that gives the user not only a physical experience of crossing, but, due to a gap at the top, a metaphorical one too.
