I'm a documentary filmmaker with more than 25 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.

I'm particularly proud about some of my more difficlut current affairs films - may be less fun to watch but they won 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. My latest African film SPELL OF THE ALBINO looked into horrendous witchcraft practices in Tanzania where albino body parts get used for magic potions. This film got again nominated for the One World Media Awards – the winners will be announced in May 2012.

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 to raise awareness on important issues in the context of human rights violations, environmental disasters, crimes etc.
