Benjamin is an award-winning filmmaker and cameraman, happy to work both independently and collaboratively in varied and extreme environments.

Most recently Ben worked as the Director of Photography on Netflix’s 4 part series Chimp Empire. He has experience with long lens natural history, stabilised camera systems and is a CAA approved drone operator. Ben is known for the cinematic look he brings to his work, across documentary, advertising and adventure films.
As an adventure filmmaker, Ben combines a passion for beautiful places and wildlife with a fascination for how our experience is shaped by our environment. Ben is continually exploring the potential of adventure filmmaking to not only show human acts of heroism - conquering rivers or mountains - but also to raise awareness of environmental issues in the wilderness that we love.
Benjamin’s current projects include a feature documentary for Silverback Features (Netflix), Director of Photography on a conservation episode for BBC Kingdoms and shoots for “Home” a National Geographic series produced by BBC Studios.
