Ethics

In my view, the role of ethical documentary film making and photography is to unite people with common cause, repair the rifts in our societies, and create a diverse and harmonious community where all non-harmful ideas, beliefs, cultures and ways of life are embraced. Thus, all productions will strive to promote kindness, integrity, peace, equality and justice, will never seek to polarise, exploit or alienate, and will be produced sustainably and sensitively, in accordance with the local cultures, customs and laws.

Consent

I’m committed to producing content that adopts the highest standards in ethical storytelling. Championing and adopting a collaborative and autonomous storytelling model that ensures the creative development and execution of projects are inclusive, balanced and shared equitably between creators, storytellers and commissioners. All of the content that’s co-created is done so with the consent and encouragement of all participants.

AI

Authenticity is a corner stone of documentary storytelling and as such, I do not use artificial intelligence technology to generate or manipulate imagery. All images are an accurate and truthful account of the scenes or persons featured, and have not been manually or autonomously altered in any way, shape or form, with the exception of colour grading for creative expression. I do use artificial intelligence technology in video editing to automate transcription and translation workflows, and in photography for metadata and caption generation.
