Welcome to Behind the Lens
Over the last few years I have interviewed world-renowned filmmakers, photographers, conservationists & top-class guides that I have built a personal connection with over the last decade. These wildlife experts are people that I admire tremendously for their passion & drive to support & protect wildlife in whatever field they are in or whatever country whether that’s Africa, India, or Alaska.
Besides interviews with wildlife experts I wanted to share what’s on top of my list in terms of inspiring me both at home and in the field. Check out “I Love” if you want to be similarly inspired.
I look forward to bringing you more interviews with other wildlife experts but in the meantime please take a look, and if you want to take a deeper dive in and learn more about these amazing people I’ve also included links to their incredible work.
Thanks for your time.

An Interview With Shannon Benson
Shannon is an award winning wildlife photographer & cinematographer & passionate conservationist who I had the pleasure meeting in India a few years ago. Better known under her brand name Shannon Wild she has had a fascinating wildlife journey which we explore in my interview with her. It’s not always been smooth sailing as you will hear, but Shannon has shown plenty of Aussie grit to overcome the challenges that have been thrown her way over the years.
An Interview With Dereck and Beverly Joubert
Beverly & Dereck Joubert are two of my wildlife heroes & have had the pleasure to get to know them & work with them over the last few years. I sat down with them recently over zoom in between their edit for an upcoming series for National Geographic, where they are busy updating & remastering some of their classic films.
An Interview With Alex Braczkowski
I got to know Alex Braczkowski when he was pitching a film to the Nat Geo Wild team about a project he was working on for National Geographic focused on the unique behavior of a pride of tree climbing lions in QEP, Uganda & the challenges they face. It’s always great to support a first-time filmmaker & his film premiered in 2018 & continues to be aired on Nat Geo Wild & on Disney +
