Read MoreI am a Japanese wildlife cameraman and CAA and FAA qualified drone pilot currently based in the UK.I have a strong passion for making wildlife films with unique stories and beautiful pictures. I have worked as a bursary cameraman between October 2019 - August 2021 at Wildstar Films.My core work is filming behavioural sequences of mammals and avian species with a long lens but I recently I am also filming for feature length wildlife documentary films. I occasionally use drones, sliders, gimbals, time-study, and time-lapse in order to add a variety of perspectives and movements to the sequences. I have also been using Cognisys camera trap systems on my recent shoot. I have experience in managing remotely operated shoots by myself or with a small crew of two people, as well as working as part of a bigger crew. I have filmed in variety of habitats with the temperature ranging from - 37C to +45C and am able to endure working in tough conditions for a prolonged period.
