About
With a background in endurance sport, I developed a solid technical base before transitioning into operating and cinematography, building resilience and composure for demanding environments. I specialise in expedition and documentary filmmaking, particularly in remote and alpine conditions.
My experience directing award-recognised documentaries shapes the way I approach commercial and broadcast work – blending documentary authenticity with strong visual craft to create narrative-driven content.
