DOCUMENTARY CINEMATOGRAPHER

Observational documentaries are his specialty and the subject where he feels most comfortable is capturing the relationship between man and nature, a subject he has worked on in such inhospitable and extreme places as the Arctic, equatorial jungles, deserts or deep ocean. This factor has led him to be able to adapt cinematography to any shot. Among his clients are National Geographic, Netflix, BBC, SKY or HBO.
