Hi! My name is Connor, and I am a wildlife filmmaker from Bristol with a strong scientific and technical background. Passionate about the natural world, I consider myself an avid naturalist, always striving to tell captivating and well-researched stories.
I hold a Master’s in Environmental Science from the University of Manchester, where I spent a year researching the anti-predation waving behaviour of the charismatic matador bug at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI) in Panama. I led this project as first author under the supervision of two established scientists, and it is set to be published in the Journal of Insect Science. This research has gained recognition within the natural history industry and has been considered for filming in upcoming blue-chip wildlife productions.
Alongside my scientific background, I have extensive technical experience in filmmaking. I have worked as a camera operator and production assistant for sports broadcasting and natural history, as well as a cinematographer on numerous independent projects, including my own films.
My strong network within the scientific community, particularly in behavioural ecology, provides access to groundbreaking, unpublished research—unique stories waiting to be told.
I hold a full (clean) UK driving licence, a UK drone licence, and have basic Spanish proficiency. With experience filming in remote and demanding environments like the jungles of Panama, I thrive in the field. Whether trekking through rugged landscapes at sunrise, setting up complex shots in extreme conditions, or working alongside scientists to translate research into visual storytelling, I am committed to bringing the natural world to life through my lens.
