Telling wildlife and conservation stories above and below the waterline.
Lewis is an award-winning filmmaker, underwater and drone cinematographer and photojournalist based in Falmouth, Cornwall, specialising in natural history, science, adventure and factual productions.
Working closely with scientists and conservationists he tells stories that highlight environmental issues and celebrate conservation successes, and he is passionate about making every project the very best it can be.
A CAA-licensed drone pilot and HSE Part 4 professional media diver - he brings over 20 years of diving experience, hundreds of flying hours and confident free-diving skills to projects that call for them. Whether the brief demands a full underwater setup or standard ground camera work, he adapts each approach to suit the story.
His kit experience spans aerial, underwater, long-lens and macro work, probe lenses, multi-axis motion time-lapse, gimbal operation and sync work. He has filmed presenter-led wildlife shows with on screen talent including Steve Backshall, Lizzy Daly, Gillian Burke and Monty Halls and regularly self-produces short films for NGO's and charities taking projects from concept to delivery.
