I had the opportunity to work as a camera operator for National Geographic on several seasons of Life Below Zero and its spinoff shows including The Next Generation and First Alaskans. This reality documentary series follows people living in remote areas of the Alaskan wilderness. Our camera crew had to prepare for extreme weather and be highly organized with our gear. We filmed from snow machines, boats and bush planes and I was often on the long-lens duty capturing wildlife and macro insert shots, requiring advanced technical skills and precision in operating.
