Jonathan Smith
Jonathan has a background in Marine Science and Marine Safety and on graduating from University, he spent many years travelling the world working with top researchers and learning extensive field skills. He began making wildlife films whilst on a two year expedition with the Royal Geographical Society to establish a marine research, training and education centre on the island of Rodrigues in the Western Indian Ocean where Jonathan ran training courses in boat handling, first-aid, swimming, diving and coral reef ecology and collected data underwater for scientists. Here, he produced a 35 minute documentary called The Reef Beneath which was a finalist in the Newcomer section at the Living Europe Wildlife Film Festival 2003 in Sweden. Before joining Wild Horizons Jonathan worked for the BBC Natural History Unit and his latest project there was as a researcher on the LIFE series from 2006 – 2009.
