Working with the Inspire 3 drone with X9 camera and prime lenses, alongside smaller drones when a lighter or more discreet approach is required.

Based in the Scottish Highlands, I work as a specialist aerial crew for film, television and commercial productions, collaborating with existing camera departments rather than competing with them. CAA-approved and BAFTA-winning aerial cinematographer (Factual Photography), I focus on delivering cinematic, story-led drone footage with the reliability production schedules demand.

Recent clients include ITV, BBC, National Geographic, Netflix, NHK Japan, BBC Alba and Discovery Channel, with aerial work featured in several feature films and productions screened internationally.
