Salvage Hunters

DV Director

As a core crew member of Discovery Channel’s hit observational documentary series Salvage Hunters, I helped shape its signature visual style through dynamic, story-led shooting on location in the UK and abroad.

I was solely responsible for designing and executing cinematic lighting setups for key packshot moments, ensuring visual consistency and high production value across the show.

Collaborating with the Series Directors and DOP we directed on-screen contributors and high-profile talent including lead presenter Drew Pritchard and Tee, plus celebrity guests Fred Sirieix and Johnny Vegas to deliver authentic, engaging performances.
