In April 2019 i embarked on an 2 week expedition to the Galapagos Islands, along with a team of 14 other students from Falmouth University, our job was to work with the Charles Darwin Foundation, Galapagos Conservation Trust and the Galapagos National Park to produce a film about the threat of invasive species.
'For the Love of Birds' is a documentary about the invasive, parasitic fly, Philornis downsi and the amazing work being undertaken by the Charles Darwin Foundation to save these iconic species such as the Vermilion Flycatcher from extinction.
My primary role during the expedition was as a camera operator tasked with filming land birds and time lapse sequences, i was given exclusive access to scientists at work in the field in closed areas of the national park and inside the CDF laboratories.
The photography and film we produced from the expedition has been exhibited at the Royal Geographic Society in London for the Galapagos Day event held by the Galapagos Conservation trust.
