25 years photographing wild places.
Now filming the people working to protect them.
What I do.
I spend real time at places doing conservation and regenerative work properly, and come away with stills, film, and the founder's own account of how it actually functions. Not a brochure. The version a guest would recognise when they arrive.
Building Wild.
A documentary series about the people trying to run hospitality without wrecking the thing that makes it worth visiting. Starting now, on YouTube and Substack.
About.
I spent a year trying to build a small conservation property in Costa Rica. Walked eleven pieces of land, built the model, got to the point of making an offer, and stopped — the arithmetic didn't work.That year is why I do this now. Most places making regenerative claims have a real story and nothing to tell it with, and I know what those claims cost to keep, because I priced them.Based in Phuket. Twenty-five years photographing wild places.
