I am wildlife and documentary cameraman currently based in Norway, with experience and credits in variety of genres. I have worked in coastal, mountain, rainforest and savannah environments.

Currently I’m focussed on the higher primates including mountain gorillas, chimpanzees and human beings.

I am experienced with most HD and film formats and I’m an owner/operator of a HPX2700 P2 Varicam, HD lenses and all the bits.
