Hamish is a documentary filmmaker, wildlife photographer, and conservationist with a deep passion for the natural world. His love for nature began at a young age, exploring the British countryside and searching for amphibians, often spending hours by ponds and in woodlands. This early fascination with wildlife laid the groundwork for a lifelong journey into conservation and storytelling.

During his time studying Animal Management at BCA, Hamish specialised in conservation and ecology in his second year, deepening his understanding of environmental systems and sustainability. He also volunteered at Shamwari Private Game Reserve in South Africa, gaining hands-on experience with African wildlife and conservation practices in an immersive, real-world setting. After college, he worked as a fish house technician at Tropical Marine Centre (TMC), where he further developed his skills in marine husbandry and aquarium systems.

He went on to study Marine and Natural History Photography at Falmouth University, where he collaborated with a diverse range of clients including foragers, local charities, and renowned organisations such as the Eden Project. His years in Cornwall cemented his connection to the ocean and underscored its critical importance to the health of the planet.

After graduating, Hamish embarked on a series of unique adventures that shaped his approach to visual storytelling. He joined a travelling circus, capturing the vibrancy of life on tour through photography and video, before relocating to Egypt to become the resident photographer and videographer at a world-famous dive resort. While living and working there, he became certified as a Self-Reliant Diver, enhancing his ability to film and operate independently underwater in challenging environments.

Upon returning to the UK, Hamish began working freelance as a camera operator, continuing to create compelling content in dynamic and unconventional environments. His projects span a range of settings, but all reflect a consistent passion for wildlife, wild spaces, and the stories that connect people to nature.

Hamish is passionate about creating documentaries that not only showcase the beauty and complexity of the natural world but also explore the profound human connections to it. His work seeks to inspire audiences, highlighting the importance of protecting and celebrating the planet’s biodiversity.

With a versatile portfolio and a commitment to meaningful storytelling, Hamish brings a unique perspective to every project, aiming to connect people to the wild and foster a deeper understanding of our place within it.

Driven by a desire to expand his academic foundation, Hamish is currently applying to study a Master’s in Marine Conservation and Ecology. He hopes this will not only deepen his scientific knowledge but also enhance his ability to communicate complex environmental issues through film and photography, further supporting his mission to protect and celebrate the natural world.
