About

I set up and now manage the stock footage department, Motion, at Science Photo Library. We are the leading stock media agency for images and clips of science, medicine, technology and the natural world.

In Motion, we represent the video and animation work of dozens of active contributors to our clients in education, TV production, electronic publishing, advertising and more. I commission new material on a regular basis, both footage and animation. I'm always happy to hear from people who are passionate about any or all aspects of science, and new contributors and new ideas are always welcome.

If you'd like to see the sort of videos we represent, check out some of our showreels on these pages, our YouTube channel and our website.

This year I am acting as a mentor for one of the trainees in Creative Skillset's Media Archive Traineeship program. I am also supervising two trainees in the Motion department at Science Photo Library.

I am a member of the executive of FOCAL International, and one of FOCAL's representatives to the Digital Production Partnership.
