ABOUT
DYLAN RAY JACKAMAN
I'm a shooting filmmaker and camera assistant based in London, with five years across Plimsoll Productions and Spark Media Partners. My work spans adventure, wildlife, and nature-focused human stories, from the Galápagos Islands to the Swiss Alps and South Asia.
Currently working on an unannounced Channel 4 series, and available for freelance camera assistant and second camera work in London and Europe.
Outside of production I'm a mountaineer, surfer, and climber. I've summited Mont Blanc and ten other Alpine 4,000m peaks. Those pursuits shape how I work: with patience, physical commitment, and genuine curiosity about the world.
