About my work

I work mainly as a director of photography and occasionally as a director.

If you’re familiar with anything I worked on, it’s probably a wildlife documentary. I’ve been lucky enough to contribute to a few, including titles narrated by Sir David Attenborough. (No, I never met him!)

These days my focus is on human-centered documentary and narrative films. I’m currently serving as the DP of the upcoming docu-fiction feature The Barnacle Hunters, which tells the story of three percebeiros in Galicia. I’m also working with Peruvian production company Mimesis Films to develop a feature about a family living in the high Andes.

Productions I worked on previously include Emmy-nominated HBO documentary Enigma (2025), the BBC’s Planet Earth III (2023), and IMAX film Arctic: Our Frozen Planet (2023). Guardians of the Microcosm, the most recent documentary feature I shot, will be released in 2027.
