I am an mountain photographer and investigative journalist, working in Santiago, Chile since 2014. I cover environmental stories, climate change and ultra distance sport in high and remote mountain environments for commercial and editorial clients such as the Guardian and Geographical magazine. I hold an MSc in climate change management and am a British qualified Mountain Leader and ultra distance runner. I combine these skillsets, working for major international clients such as Patagonia and Red Bull from 6000m summits and volcanoes between Cape Horn and the altiplano.

Previous work has included documenting the last days of FARC in the Darien Gap as they laid down their arms in 2017 for Geographical magazine; leading a British expedition to find the crashed 1948 British Stardust plane on the south-east face of 6500m Cerro Tupungato in 2019 for Red Bull and producing the ¨A Park for the People¨ expedition for Patagonia in 2020 where our team made the first ascent of Cerro Barco and investigated the ¨Queremos Parque¨ national park creation story. After three years creating content around the Queremos Parque campaign, the Chilean government historically declared at least half of the territory in dispute a new national park in March 2022. The campaign continues. 

I am use to working as a DOP on mountains and organising tight production schedules. I also use GPX tracks from race organisers to plan shots months in advance depending on the light and topography to ensure my client gets that essential shot. I work to a brief but can be relied on to travel independently, remotely, in complex terrain and in poor weather to come back with the assets. Since 2013 I  have also competed competitively in ultra distance running events, recently placing 2nd in the Gran Travesía de los Valles Ultra-Trail.

I also the Co-Director of Earth Rise Productions where we support companies to measure the environmental impacts of their activities, take steps to mitigate these and then communicate their positive actions to their customers through stills, stories and film.
