Adrian is an ‘award winning’ independent wildlife film maker: a self-shooting Producer / Director, Writer and Presenter. Described by BBC Wildlife Magazine as someone who “takes multi-tasking to new levels” Adrian is always willing to roll up his sleeves and get stuck in. He has been known to set off with just a camera and a whim and come back with all the material for a solid and creative documentary. As he says “The eternal wait for a commissioner to say yes or for budgets to fall into place can compromise the story and the story won’t always wait.”
Recent credits include an episode of Panorama for BBC1, investigating the devastating effect of the palm oil industry on the environment and particularly the orangutan, and the much repeated series Gibbons: Back in the Swing for Animal Planet International.
Adrian is also a Wildeye Tutor. |

Born in the once dusty little town of Hesperia, California the love of nature has always been the central inspiration in my life. From rattlesnakes to cobras, alligators to anacondas, there has never been a "creepy crawly" I haven't immediately wanted to look at just a little closer and show to everyone around. I think it was my passion for sharing my passion that led me to my
career in television. What a platform to show the world all the awesome living things around us...
and so that's the short version.
I specialize in herpetology (the study of reptiles and amphibians), but have worked with all sorts of
animals on and off camera. I've done it all, from hiding in hand built blinds to film wild lions feeding
for National Geographic, to scuba diving with massive tiger sharks for the Discovery Channel.
Simply put there is no animal too obscure or dangerous for my camera's lens... whether
that lens be on a big body Sony 900, a Photron High Speed Camera, a Phantom, a Red Epic, or an
underwater rig (yes I am a PADI certified diver). For more on my television work see my IMDB page.
Photography is my favorite form of artistic expression and my photos appear in several books,
websites, and magazines. Occasionally I sell my photographs and donate the proceeds to a variety of causes I support. I personally love to snap images of venomous snakes from cobras to bushmasters and everything in between. I have shot production stills for National Geographic, Animal Planet and The Discovery Channel.
I travel to South Africa annually, and have a particular fondness for the herps of that region, occasionally lead small groups so others can share in my experience.
Please contact me if you
would be interested in joining me in the field some time in the future.
My original plan for my life was academia, and I still do a bit of research work as well. I have presented at the International Herpetological Symposium, speak at countless reptile societies, and co-authored both scientific papers and non-fictional books.
When I am not searching for snakes or filming I am actively involved in a number of conservation efforts including the founding of Herpetological Conservation International. |

I am an engineer, cinematographer, researcher and a recent graduate from BBC NHU's Masters in Wildlife Film Making. As a part of the course I did a unique film on Tigers, #Tiger Selfie exploring how selfies are saving Tigers from extinction.
I like to be challenged by stories to push technical limitations in cameras. As an engineer I build my own rigs, customize cameras according to shoot requirements. My passion to think different means researching extensively to find the most elusive and never told before natural history stories.

If you asked my friends and family to describe me, the first thing they would say is Dom is obsessed with animals. Since a young age I have had a fascination with the Natural World, and as I have grown older capturing it has become my passion, and hopefully one day my vocation!
I've been lucky enough to travel extensively, and this has truly inspired me and my work. In Asia I have lived in the mountains of Nepal and worked with tigers in Thailand. In Africa I have worked to conserve lion populations in Zambia and trekked to see the Mountain Gorillas in Uganda. These experiences and the people I have met along the way have been truly amazing, and have given me a great insight in to different cultures and ways of life which I have tried to translate in my photos.
I'm also facinated by the abundance of wildlife at home in the UK, right on my own doorstep. During my time working as a Ghillie in the Outer Hebrides was a great chance to capture the last remaing bits of wild space we have left n the UK and a chance to come close to some amazing British Wildlife.
For the past year I have been volunteering at The Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust's Martin Mere Centre in Lancashire. As well as being home a large collection of foreign and native water birds, Martin Mere also attracts thousands of migrating species throughout the year and is ever changing with the seasons. Its my job to capture footage of both residents and visitors for their Wildlife Weekly Episodes and bring a taste of what's happening in the natural world, and how you can see it.
Next on my adventures is a 6 month trip around Asia before heading to New Zealand to live and work. Along the way I will be updating this site with pictures and videos, and I'm hoping to capture some spectacular sights!
Thank you for visiting my website. I hope you enjoy it and please get in touch with any questions you may have. |

I am a freelance photographer and camera operator looking for any entry level position. Ideally camera assisting work, however I can happily fulfil the role of runner or jr. researcher.
- I have some professional experience, working at Ammonite as a researcher and camera assistant.
- I am a zoologist; therefore I can read, interpret, digest and explain complex scientific concepts from primary sources. And thus fulfil the position of a researcher. Furthermore I have done research for both Sky and Ammonite, the former as part of a work experience placement and the latter as part of paid employment.
- I have very good knowledge of insects and arachnids, with a particular emphasis on ants.
- I have a master’s degree with distinction from the University of Salford where I learned the basics of wildlife film-making.
- I produce my own short sequences about wildlife. My aim is to film common, but rarely seen behaviour in order to educate people about invertebrate life around us. I filmed this sequence showing a raft spider laying eggs (a behaviour filmed by me for the first time) received an honourable mention in 2013’s British Wildlife Photographer of the year Awards. I have also made this sequence about mating and courtship in the common daddy longlegs. I am currently in the process of finishing off two more films on orb spiders and water boatmen.
- I also shoot stills.

Being a documentary cameraman for years I've specialised mainly in National History.
Next to this I have 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 post production workflows and decent knowledge of the natural world.
Work at an equipment rental company and post production facility brought me good knowledge of both. Equipment-wise this has brought me good experience all sorts of cameras like the Red One, Alexa and DSLR. With the experience in such cameras, I have worked a lot as digital Clapper-loader on Dutch feature films an commercials.
I'd love to work story driven. I believe thats the only way. 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! |

I film 6K raw nature and wildlife content. I have my own Red Weapon 6K camera and Land Cruiser, so I am able to film anywhere in Southern Africa at very competitive rates. As an example, for around $900 per day/$3000 per week I can provide myself, my assistant, my 4x4 vehicle and all my equipment. Including all accommodation (assuming camping is available), fuel, logistics/booking, travel insurance, hard drive purchases and courier fees (excluding park fees, filming permits and guides, if required).
I also travel regularly to film in Southern African and further afield. On these trips, I am happy to schedule additional filming, or just look out for a particular shot for potential clients. If you would like to be kept updated on future expeditions, let me know. |

I am a Bristol-based natural history camera assistant/second camera with experience on a range of cameras, particularly the Sony F5/F55. I am fully trained in the use of thermal and starlight cameras and have experience with a range of other equipment including tracks/sliders, jibs, basic lighting and sound. I am particularly interested in timelapse photography and high-speed filming.
I have good all-round biological knowledge and studied BSc Conservation Biology at UWE in Bristol. After graduating I worked as a research assistant and survey leader for Global Vision International in Costa Rica, performing data analysis and leading surveys of monkeys, marine turtles, and bird surveys by canoe.
Having had the opportunity to travel extensively, I am competent in a wide range of habitats from caves to coral reefs, and have particular experience in rainforests and tropical temperatures, having lived off-grid in the Costa Rican lowland rainforest for six months. I am a qualified PADI diver (Open Water) looking to further my dive skills and am hoping to complete a BCAP (canopy access course) in 2015.
I also have substantial post-production experience and DIT skills. I am familiar with 4K workflows and can use Adobe Premiere and FCP 7 at an advanced level, for tasks such as stabilisation, noise reduction, spot masking, colour-keying, footage conversion, grading (DaVinci Resolve) and timelapse assembly.

Biologist, cameraman, editor, director, drone operator, scuba diver, Phantom high speed camera operator.
I am a biologist and started a career as wildlife filmmaker in 2014. My major production is the urban nature documentary Het Noorderplantsoen, being in charge of the camera, script, editing, sound & music design and the production process. The film was locally screened in cinemas and selected for Wildlife Film Festival Rotterdam, NaturVision, Menigoute festival and Green Screen. At the latter I was awarded an Honorable mention.
In 2011 I joined the Flightartists operating the Phantom v710 high speed camera to capture fast moving animals. My resulting short video A Leap of Frog was selected for Wildlife Film Festival Rotterdam and won an audience award. The footage also contributed to the Dutch Nieuwe Wildernis TV series.
At the end of my MSc in biology I focussed on dolphin behaviour, hence I participated in HEPCAs Red Sea Dolphin project and made a promotional video for which I put my scuba diving skills to good use.
In 2013 I entered Wildeye's course Creative Wildlife Video Editing which highly improved my editing skills. Conclusively I operate Panasonics GH3+4, the Phantom v710 and Miro M320S, DJI drones and creatively edit to the footage to appealing videos. Although I can work alone I am also a fun team player. I am eager to learn to handle more cameras, new related technologies and to further improve my editing skills. I do sports to keep in shape for physically demanding conditions. I communicate fluently in Dutch, English and German.
I am available for both camera and editing projects. Have a look at my website www.hilcojansma.com to see my work. |

Philipp Klein is a camera operator and assistant based in Berlin.
As long as he can remember, he always wanted to become a wildlife filmmaker. During his years working for the renowned production company Light & Shadow, he was able to
combine his cinematic style with his keen sense for animals.
His great passion first showed up when he spent eighteen months filming all across Brazil for the five part documentary series Wild Untamed Brazil (Terra Mater, National Geographic). Since his very first professional steps in the wildlife film business in 2011, he has been facing multiple ranges of extreme shooting conditions all across the world, from the clear cold of the Sibirian winter to the
humidity and heat of the Amazonian rainforest.
His wide range of skills as camera operator not only comprises long-lense, macro and studio work
(greenscreen/bluescreen), but also extreme slow-motion recording.
In 2014, he then became a camera operator and assistant on a freelance basis.
Yet, apart from his very diverse field of activities, spending as much time in nature as possible is still his main ambition in life. |

Capturing the gaze of many personalities from culture, ecology, fashion, and luxury, she has developed personal work which she exhibits. From her experience as a photographer, Lilou has retained a taste for natural light, the art of framing, and a permanent quest for aesthetics.
In 2010, Lilou became a professional film director. Her documentary films are distributed nationally and internationally. Her environmental and wildlife film "Shuklaphanta, the other wild Nepal" won the ‘Feature Film’ prize at the Wildlife Conservation Film Festival in New York in 2017.
As a PD/DOP she likes to spotlight complex, never-before-filmed subjects, men and women of the shadows, in unrecognised or difficult to access places. Alone or in a team, she always takes the time to approach her subjects with strong ethics and respect. Her thoroughness and seriousness have allowed her to gain confidence in France with the Ministry of the Armed Forces, the Ministry of Justice, and the Ministry of the Interior, where security and confidentiality constraints are imposed. With the ability to work successfully in all terrains, often in extreme conditions, naturally, you can imagine that Lilou is at ease working/filming in the forest as she is in complex military environments.

I'm a Camera Operator/ Assistant/ Time-lapse specialist and DIT based in Bristol. Bit of a mouthful I know, but hey.. I've been in the media industry a while now and fulfilled many roles in that time.
I'm familiar with most most major camera formats (Red, Arri, Canon, Sony etc..) and very capable handling commonly used steady and motion control rigs (DJI Ronin, Jimmy Jib etc..) and specialise in Time-lapse motion control.
I'm particularly geared towards wildlife and adventure based documentaries having completed an undergrad and masters in 'Wildlife Documentary Production'. During my masters I discovered a passion for time-lapse and have been lucky enough to produce plant time-lapse content for a number of Bristol based productions including: The Great British Bake Off, Harvest 2015 and The World's Biggest Flower Market.
I'm available for hire along with a complete 4K filming and motion control time-lapse kit. Nature really has the best stories and I love being able to show it off with spectacular visuals. |

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. |

She is keen to share within this film knowledge about conservation, and to change public perceptions whilst producing a concise, informative film. Emily has been working closely with UK wildlife centres such as Wildwood to achieve this and the film will be released in May 2014.
Emily is hard working, flexible, creative and eager to continue learning. |

She is a very people-minded person, who loves to talk and listen. She has worked with people in all different fields, from different cultural backgrounds and with different opinions. She has lived in Belgium, the States, the UK and Japan. She has experience working with a suite of edition programmes and using cameras, so is adaptable for a wide range of roles that shoots may require, and is always up for a new challenge!
"I am a wildlife camera woman and photographer based out of Bristol, UK. I have been in the industry since 2013 and have extensive experience working on high-profile nature documentaries. I have travelled around the world with my camera on a shoestring, having most recently been captivated by the west coast of British Columbia in Canada. My latest business venture is using my wildlife photography and turning them into animal-inspired dangle earrings, every nature lover’s dream! I am always looking for new learning opportunities to flex my brain and want to work together with you to create something unique and inspirational. Nothing is done without expecting the highest standard of myself and my work, I have ambitious creative goals that I feel I am still striving to meet." |

Susan has been making documentary films for nearly twenty years now.
After studying cinematography and the craft of non-linear editing in the US, she went on to mentor with an ACE editor in Washington DC, the home of documentary. So, it's no wonder Susan fell in love with the craft of editing documentaries! Not only has she worked with some of the best wildlife and documentary filmmakers on the planet, she has gone on to win a Jackson Hole Wildlife Film Festival award for Best Editing, three SAFTAs as well as several international awards for her cutting. In 2010 she was awarded the use of the acronym from the South African Editors Guild. Shortly after receiving recognition of her body of work by the guild, she returned to her love of cinematography and after two decades in dark cutting rooms, she now spends as much time outdoors as she can!
Susan has directed the crowd-funded independent film STROOP on the rhino poaching crisis and KINGDOMS of FIRE, ICE & FAIRYTALES looking at iconic wildernesses in three locations: Yellowstone National Park in America;
the Black Forest in Germany; and the Arctic Circle in Swedish Lapland. |

I have experience working with a wide range of specialist grip and kits, associated with natural history filmmaking including high-speed cameras for slow-motion, sliders, motion control time-lapses, cranes, aerial drones, gimbal stabilised rigs, camera traps and macro scopes to name a few. Long lens filming experienced in hide work and have a strong understanding of fieldcraft, most recently having spent time filming elusive Pine Martens and Stone Martens for a local wildlife tourism company. With extensive aminal science and behaviour knowledge as well as animal tracking.

I am an experienced Runner with practical experience on Television, Commercial and Photographic shoots. Keen to break into the technical department for natural history shows, I have knowledge of setting up cameras, lock-off posts, hides and controlled environments for filming wildlife. Adaptable to the needs of a production and the office, I am able to take direction, manage my time effectively and be quick to act when given a task.
Growing up on the Norfolk Coast, I have been immersed in nature from a very early age, and my passion for filming wildlife really was formed in the wild, walking on beaches, marching through muddy fields and staring at endless big blue skies. I am fascinated by the changing face of nature throughout the year. The way the landscape and the habitat changes throughout the seasons and storms, and the animals and birds who live here full time and those who visit whilst awakening me on their trip over the sky.
When not at work, I can be found down the seaside in rock pools on the North Norfolk coast! |

I am skilled in all aspects of production but will throw myself at any challenge or role with great enthusiasm!
I have always loved wildlife from an early age I volunteered at my local RSPB and I have always been a huge fan of film and TV.
So to combine the two loves in my life would be a dream.
So any opportunity I can get to be involved in wildlife and film would be brilliant as I can not see myself doing anything else! |

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. |

Before summarising my resume and skills; I present you my impulsive personality. Kilometers of hiking, climbing, laying down in the mud and struggling for getting the best shot possible. I want to work for my material with a healthy portion of chaos. In the editing suite you’ll always see that it has been worth it!
At first I am a wildlife and documentary camera operator. I love creating beautiful sequences/scenes, regardless of the subject. Involve the viewer in the story and find the right emotional vibe the scene needs. Whether I drag you into a new alien macro world or a visual story about a Elm seeds, it is my challenge to make the most of it.
My scenes are shown in the main Dutch wildlife broadcasted shows and series. This amazing diverse playground trains me for the next steps in my career. The goal for coming years is to become more internationally focussed and create self-produced documentaries.
Besides wildlife I also have a broad range of experience in film marketing, commercial videos, video clips and other broadcasted shows. |
