In February 2022: Up against so many logistic challenges, Covid, quarantines, the filming kit being bumped from flights - and wind keeping us stuck in the dock at Stanley, in the Falklands:- After a 3 day crossing over the Southern Ocean, we finally made it to King Edward Point in South Georgia, coinciding with the 100 year Anniversary of Shackleton’s death there and we pretty much had the place to ourselves….

Filming: A Perfect Planet, Episode 5, ' Humans '

Working on "A Perfect Planet", narrated by Sir David Attenborough and produced by Silverback Films, was a career-defining moment for me. The insight the filming gave me into the work of Sea Shepherd, and the opportunity to contribute to both the film and the accompanying book was incredibly fulfilling and aligned with my passion for wildlife conservation.

Relaxation Film for lockdown disruption

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

Photography: Workshop in Naples with Magnum photographer Chris Steel-Perkins and Gallery Director Laura Noble

Finally, I’ve been able to spend a few days with my husband away, abet doing a workshop in the heat of Naples in summer.

It is always good to spend time thinking about photography, and our 3 day workshop was really hard work, but full of sound advice. I have done workshops with both Chris and Laura before so when my husband found the workshop on Instagram I was thrilled to join him…

Sound recording, work flow, and kit analysis on expedition to Antarctica and the 5 deepest points on the planet

The last couple of jobs have been filming expeditions, that have required me to cover the sound of many people (not necessarily in the same room), unassisted, with multiple cameras, and multi-disciplines, at times I’ve had to go off and fly the drone and cover publicity stills whilst the filming is happening.

Audio Limited’s latest A10 digital radio mics were a vital component in my sound strategy on a 2 month expedition in Antarctica earlier this year, and my current expedition recording sound at the very deepest points on Earth for ‘5 Deeps’ also know as ‘Deep Ocean Challenge’…
