    Nick Upton shot his first video clips for his PhD research before working for more than 20 years with many top cinematographers to make wildlife TV programmes. He was Series Researcher on Sir David Attenborough's Trials of Life Series at the BBC, then produced and directed many award winning films through independent companies for the BBC and major broadcasters worldwide. He began shooting again more regularly while working for the RSPB Film Unit. He now shoots video footage using DSLR cameras, usually linked to a microphone and high grade video recorder, principally covering a wide range of bird, macro and mammalian subjects. He also uses infra red sensitive equipment to capture the behaviour of nocturnal wildlife.
