I'm a passionate documentary filmmaker with more than 20 years of freelance experience. I'm probably best known for my role as DOP on LONG WAY ROUND and LONG WAY DOWN where I filmed the actors Ewan McGregor and Charlie Boorman on motorbike journeys around the world and across Africa.

Besides the adventure entertainment, I'm particularly proud about some of my more difficlut current affairs films - may be less fun to watch but they won me prestigious recognition. SURVIVING SUDAN - a report about the plight of Darfur refugees earned an Emmy nomination for best long format investigative documentary in 2006. LIVING WITH AIDS won the One World Media Award 2006 for best broadcast journalist and was a finalist for best TV documentary.

I'm thrilled about the new possibilities of publishing videos over the internet. It offers true democracy of expression. I will certainly upload more reports that might not make it to main stream TV but will be relevant to raise awareness on important issues like human rights violations, environmental disasters, crimes etc.

    Good to hear, that you got gripped by the human dimension of HFT. I really enjoyed working on this film because it serves a purpose that goes beyond entertainment. It's great to see ordinary people tackling tough issues like modern day slavery.
