Director of Photography for Lifeblood
I was the Director of Photography for Lifeblood, a natural history film centered on the wildlife and ecosystems of the Fitzroy River — one of Australia’s last remaining wild rivers. The film captures the beauty and fragility of this ancient system, spotlighting species like freshwater sawfish, estuarine crocodiles, and other elusive wildlife.
I led a small camera team deep into the Kimberley, living off-grid in remote bush camps for months at a time. We used a combination of underwater rigs, long lenses, drones, and custom camera traps to film rare and behaviorally unique footage of animals that are seldom seen, let alone filmed. My role was not only creative but highly technical — managing gear in extreme conditions, troubleshooting in the field, and making sure we always got the shot, even when things didn’t go as planned.”
