Over the last few years, I've been lucky enough to work on both series of Netflix's Ancient Apocalypse. We've made it to some amazing places around the world following Graham Hancock's research and theorising. The Sema, is a sacred ritual performed by the Sufi Dervishes; it combines poetry, music, chanting and spinning. Working with DOP Will Fewkes, we very simply lit a large worship space. To see the the sequence used in the series, you can find it in Episode 7. A Fatal Winter on Netflix. Although we used multiple cameras with jib and slider, this edit is made up purely of shots from my Sony FX9. Shot near Derinkuyu, Turkiye.

Some of the Junkets I DOP'd on in 2024.

Britain's Greatest River produced by Full Fat TV for Channel 5. I shot this with DOP Will Fewkes over the summer of 2020. 8x 48 mins broadcast from January 2021.

One hour special for ITV in 2020 produced by Blink Films. I shot the majority of the interviews for this Trevor Macdonald documentary either side of lockdown v1.0 in spring/summer 2020. Directed by Hugh Ballantyne

Branded content for Panasonic shot in Warsaw. This was shot over a couple of days with director Stuart Gillies for Great Guns UK.

Series 2 of ITV's The Investigator. Ex-policeman, investigative journalist Mark Williams-Thomas looks into some unsolved murders in the UK. The program combines the documentary following the team, interviewing witnesses and dramatised reconstruction. I shot all the documentary side of the program, Nat Hill shot the drama.
