I recently spent two years in the Arctic filming the series Blue Planet I love being in an environment that
hasn't changed for 20,000 years Of course it's freezing, but it must be a healthy place because you never catch colds When I'm filming, I like to really feel how lonely the environment is Filming underwater involves cutting
through thick ice and diving in tied to a line The person at the other end has to be ready to pull you out fast if
necessary
Originally I was a research diver for the British Antarctic survey project, but for me science lacked excitement I'd always enjoyed photography, and whenever camera teams passed through, they encouraged me
to watch and learn I was then able to move into filming in 1985 and have concentrated on Arctic and Antarctic wildlife ever since
I prefer to be faced with the animals I'm filming I haven't got in the water with killer whales yet, but I plan
to Of course, it's dangerous if you choose the wrong moment They're big animals and can move fast, so I'd be stupid to film them searching for food!
When I come home back from my trips, I work in the mornings and spend the afternoons swimming to keep fit Now I'm fifty, filming is harder The challenge for me is to continue to deliver high-quality work
