Sandbanks’, ‘Brits in Bangkok’, ‘Wife Swap’, ‘No Going Back’, ‘Life Laundry’, ‘Travel Sick’, profiles for ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ and mini dramas for Daisy Goodwin’s ‘Essential Poems to Fall in Love With’.More recently, I have had a Natural History DOP role, filming bears in Kamchatka for Netflix, shot and directed a one-off hour documentary for Channel Four and filmed 20 episodes of James Martin’s Spanish Adventure, in six weeks!
