Ryan is a graduate of Bournemouth University's TV Production course, and a freelance camera operator / assistant based in Bristol, UK. Back in 2009, Ryan travelled to South Africa and gained experience in wildlife documentary as an assistant cameraman, and also helped to mentor a group of students on NHU Africa's wildlife film-making course in the Kruger National Park - sharing his own knowledge of cameras and photography at the time.

His most recent work was as a camera operator for a documentary following London's population of urban foxes, starting back in August 2011. Ryan spent the following seven months locating and filming red foxes in the streets and gardens of London and the surrounding areas, and also back here in Bristol. The programme's low budget meant that Ryan was required to undertake a significant amount of self-shooting and organisation - requiring resourcefulness, patience and the ability to maintain focus in situations where he was working long and unsociable hours in some fairly uncomfortable environments.

Outside of natural history Ryan has gained experience with a wide variety of camera systems, including 4K, slow-motion and specialist cameras, and various broadcast formats. He has worked as an operator, focus puller and 1st AC on shorts, corporates and feature films shot on Red's 4K camera system, and is also part of a camera team that specialises in digital cinema. Having worked as a professional multi-skiller, he is also a proficient FCP editor, illustrator and motion graphics designer - please follow the link to the website on the left, where you can find out more about Ryan and his work.

I am a freelance camera operator and stills photographer.

Key Skills:
• Photography: Very advanced knowledge of macro filming and photography techniques. I can also shoot landscapes, time-lapses and some IR. I also have a good grasp of studio photography techniques. Almost all my experience to date has been with DSLR cameras. However I have used the Panasonic 171.
• Science: Undergraduate knowledge of zoology specialising in entomology (the study of insects). I can read, digest and explain complex scientific papers quickly and explain the key points to just about anyone.
• Programs: Very advanced knowledge of Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom, Basic knowledge of FCP, Adobe Premier, Davinci Resolve and Protools 10.
• Other: Qualified BSAC Ocean Diver. Full clean UK drivers licence.

Industry experience:
• MA wildlife documentary production, during which I made the film Raft Spider about the breeding cycle of the fen raft spider, Dolomedes plantarius, and contains footage of raft spider behaviour that until now has never been filmed.
• Work experience at Sky Vision in Bristol, where I used my scientific knowledge to research interesting scientific phenomena for the purposes of film-making.
• Work experience at Films@59 where I worked as a runner.

About me:
I’m James Dunbar and I love to photographs insects. I originally trained as a scientist achieving a hons degree in Zoology from the University of Glasgow, specialising in the study of ant-plant mutualisms, but was also interested in neurological mechanisms of behaviour, bio-ethics and behavioural ecology. Whilst at university I organised and led an expedition to Peru to collect data for my dissertation making valuable contacts in this country with whom I am still in touch with today. After graduating I took up photography as a hobby. For the first few years I was largely self-taught, learning photography as a trade by completing an HNC in the subject whilst working part time. After this I went to the University of Salford and got an MA in Wildlife Documentary Production for which I achieved a distinction. For this course I shot, directed, edited, graded and sound engineered my first film entitled Raft Spider.

I am currently looking for an entry level position as a camera assistant, runner or technician where I can meet people and learn skills to further enhance my existing knowledge, with the ultimate goal of being a professional full-time freelance macro photographer.

Roslin Nature is a single-handed non-profit project in which wildlife documentaries are produced for presentation to local and national environmental clubs and societies. Northern Frontier chronicled the colonisation of the Lothians by the nuthatch. Fantasia is a short film about a pair of peregrines in Midlothian. Oasis is the most ambitious project so far completed, a documentary about bird life in the Esk Valley near Edinburgh. Each documentary has taken two years to complete.

The working title of the current project is 'Nature's Cauldron', which explores the birdlife and other wildlife of upland habitat and conifer woods in the Lothians and Borders regions. This film will be complete by end 2012. The project for 2013 is a documentary comparing woodland habitats in Scotland and Massachusetts, in collaboration with Massachusetts Audubon Society.

Just graduated BA Audiovisual Media specialised as documentary cameraman, I have also developed good experience as a Camera Assistant and Sound Recordist.

From the start of my first days in Film making I've gained much experience from pre- to post-production. I'm best described as a young cameraman with good knowledge of (digital) post production workflows and wildlife.

Work at a combined equipment rental company and post production facility brought me good knowledge of both. Equipment wise this has brought me good experience in HD and newer types of cameras like the Red One, Alexa and DSLR. With the experience in such cameras, I work increasingly as digital Clapper-loader on Dutch feature films an commercials. A person on the set archiving and backup is increasingly a necessity in the world of digital film production.

I love to work in teams but I'm very capable of working on my own as well. I'm self driven, fast in troubleshooting and always in search of new adventures!

Wild and rugged, yet hugely tame with humans and animals alike, Chris is always a favourite with wildlife filmmakers and conservationists the world over. His adaptability and skill set has allowed him to flourish in a wide range of habitats, whilst a highly committed and conscientious work ethic means his presence is always beneficial to his environment.

He has been spotted completing a wildlife filmmaking course in South Africa with NHU Africa, and current reports from the field suggest he is pencilling an independent shark documentary to be based in Costa Rica for 2 months later this year.

Although there is ability and motivation in abundance, he is still a fledgling in this territory, and therefore looking to gain as much experience as he can to fire up his wildlife filmmaking career. Foundations have been built in camera techniques, sound & video editing and script writing and his eagerness to learn more, try new things and develop his skills is overwhelming. Put him anywhere, doing anything, on any project, and he will revel in it.

One of the more creative types of the species, his background has combined graphic design with wildlife conservation, gaining experience in both the field and office environments, notably researching white sharks in South Africa; sharks, stingrays and turtles in the Maldives; being a trail leader through South America; and working in design and event management for a conservation NGO. His field experience has also seen him filmed in and assisting with documentaries by National Geographic and Vox production companies.

Offspring includes the clothing brand Dorsal, which was created to raise funding for shark research and conservation efforts, together with CoExistence, a marine conservation charity fund (both non-salaried projects).

He's out there somewhere! He is tagged though, so can easily be located by anyone interested in doing so. As a final note: he will be over-excitable, but don't be afraid - its because he likes you.

Sebastien was born and bred in Libreville, Gabon (Central Africa) - hence his deep passion for Nature and his love of adventure, traveling and sharing!

After studying european and african nature conservation and wildlife filmmaking, he had the opportunity to work on his first wildlife documentary with Africa Wildlife Films Production company. The documentary, called Swimming Scared, is about Great White Sharks and Cape Fur Seals filmed in the notorious waters off Cape Town. After even a short time working on this film, Seb finally found his true passion which took him to the Sabi Sands Game Reserve where he operated as a 2D/3D camera operator, editor and presenter for Wildearth.TV for their live safaris.

After hundreds of hours behind 2D and 3D cameras and edit suites, he is now an independent wildlife filmmaker through Beyond Borders Productions trading as 'Beyond Borders' where he tries to get involved into as many wildlife documentaries and films as possible, marketing himself as a producer, 2D&3D video editor, DOP and 2D&3D camera operator.

He firmly believes that to appreciate the beauty of wildlife, it is essential that we do our bit to protect it. He thought a picture or a video can do much more. In conversations video & pictures are even more important as they give a voice to the voiceless species which are facing threats like never before. He loves to make movies on the basis of Nature, wildlife because he want to spread message by the audio visual medium where he can inform thousands of people on the finer aspects of Nature, Wildlife & our environment through screening the films. He decided to dedicate his time & energy by making Films on Wildlife & Conservation which helps to create awareness among people. He also writes articles on wildlife, conservation & film-making.

Coming from technical background I can adapt to challenges and can help in making those shots that will convey a visual message that will raise awareness and to also motivate people.

Richard Terry is a Filmmaker, Cameraman, Adventurer, Writer & TV Presenter.

Currently starring in Nat Geo Wild's Man v Monster Richard Terry has made 9 x 1hr entertaining, action packed, gritty adventure & travel wildlife episodes. The new hit series premiered in the US October 2012 and will be transmitted globally both on Nat Geo Wild & National Geographic channels in December 2012. Richard journeyed to the world's most hostile territories to unearth the truth behind mystifying legends and bring the audience face to face with terrifying yet fascinating creatures.

As an already well-established BBC film unit-trained lighting cameraman, his on-screen career began in 2009 with the compelling and emotional six-part series Stranger Among Bears. Self shooting, Richard helped to drive the story as an integral part of the films. For six months he lived with Charlie Vandergaw, a 70 year old recluse in the Alaskan interior and the company of wild Black & Grizzly Bears. He single-handedly directed, photographed, recorded sound and narrated this internationally successful Animal Planet series.

Richard returned the following year as lone immersive filmmaker to a more remote area of Alaska, Katmai National Park - chillingly named 'The Grizzly Maze' by the late Timothy Treadwell. Richard was based in a tiny lightweight tent in the midst of dozens of giant Coastal Brown Bears, to record and produce his next project Alone Among Grizzlies, broadcast worldwide on Animal Planet, Discovery & receiving exceptional viewing figures for Channel 5 UK. He made the film entirely using solar power.

Richard has caught the attention of numerous international production companies who recognise a niche in the documentary market for a charismatic and honest filmmaker with both drama & documentary backgrounds, who can quickly adapt to living in wild and hostile environments. Returning, not without scars and diseases, with moving and beautifully filmed yet raw and engaging programmes.

His personal skills, vulnerability and warmth are of huge benefit when attempting to bring out on screen, the full potential and depth of character from those he is filming.

In autumn 2012 Richard appeared as a popular guest presenter on the Alan Titchmarsh Show for ITV1 giving photography tips on location and live studio.

Richard co-hosted both the Wildscreen Film festival's 2012 Panda Awards & Wildtalk Africa's 2011 ROSCA Awards ceremonies.

Richard is a fellow of the Royal Geographical Society.

I am a UK based time lapse photographer. I offer a dynamic range of time lapse solutions, tailored specifically to your needs. I have worked on a range of projects, content building for documentaries, music videos, art projects and corporate videos.

Last year I worked on a project in Belfast for multi award winning filmmaker Danny Cooke, where I was commissioned to produce a series of interior time lapses of the newly opened Titanic Belfast museum. I also had the privilege of working with Danny again on artist Kurt Perschke’s Redball project.

Currently I own and operate the Dynamic Perception Stage Zero dolly system with an integrated Merlin pan and tilt head for my motion control. I use the Canon 5D mark ii for my capture, which gives me the ability to achieve a 4K workflow and a cinema standard quality image.

One of my favourite places to time lapse are natural landscapes, living close to Dartmoor National Park I have spent countless days exploring its many landscapes capturing sunrises, sunsets and even dark skies (weather permitting) these opportunities have allowed me to hone and develop my skills as a time lapse photographer.

Please feel free to contact me to discuss any commercial work or collaboration enquiries you may have.

Natalia has a wide range of experience in directing and editing documentary film and video production. Her current focus is on nature and ecological themes.

In 2011 she graduated with an MA in Digital Documentary from Sussex University. On the course she produced a short half hour documentary called A Wild Hide which is a character portrait with an underlying environmental theme. It was screened at the SEE Documentary Film Festival in 2011.

The film is about a Brighton based artist who commandeers small pockets of land for building dens in, illegally. Inspired by nature the dens are beautiful, created out of natural and recycled materials. The film takes us deep into the English countryside and below the surface of mainstream society.

Natalia is currently developing a mini Eco series called Lily's Eco Diary. 'Seek and you will find . . . a new approach to everyday life. Lily discovers fresh ideas for ecological and sustainable living in her home county of Sussex'. The pilot can be seen here.
