EVEREST SUMMIT 2023

FILM

I worked as lead cinematographer on Netflix's smash hit 14 Peaks. I shot most of the drone footage along with key scenes including the intro, Nims visiting his family and the K2 drama. I then worked as DOP on the first successful K2 winter expedition. 

In 2022 I filmed episode 1 of Sasha DiGiulian's 'No Days Off' 

series for RedBull TV.  During preparation for Petzl's RocTrip Sasha, Alex Megos, Steve McClure & Neil Gresham developed new routes in a remote and undeveloped corner of Greece's mainland.

I directed, shot and edited  the story of Grace, a recovering climber searching for a bigger life. Focusing on mental health and community the film was supported by Montane and played at film festivals world wide. 

Filmed during one of six trips to Afghanistan this commercial for Charles Schwab bank depicts preparation for our record breaking expedition to Mt Noshaq, the countries highest peak at 7,495m.

ABOUT ME

Over the past decade I’ve documented some of the biggest stories from the world of high altitude mountaineering. I stood on the highest peak in Afghanistan, Mt Noshaq as the first Afghan woman summited and the highest peak in Pakistan, K2 as the first Pakistani woman summited. I filmed Nirmal Purja as he set a blazing speed record on the 14 8,000ers and filmed Kristin Harila as she smashed it.

 

A winding path brought me to the mountains. After dropping out of uni I spent 3 years in Birmingham filming raves, music videos and weddings. Wanting to see more of the world I joined the British army reserve and soon the commando training combined with my passion for story telling provided opportunities to do just that. I filmed army expeds to Dhaulagiri in 2016 and Everest in 2017, began building a basecamp network and haven’t really stopped carrying cameras up mountains since.

 

With feeling and fortitude I have the experience to bring human stories from the world’s most inhumane corners. I believe deeply in representation and hope the projects I’ve worked on show people what’s possible when you look up and believe.

Stories from the mountains and the people in between
are slowly being collected on my Youtube channel
