Peter Haken – Wildlife & Environmental Filmmaker Based in Oxfordshire, UK

I turn untamed moments into cinematic stories. From reed-bed dawns in Oxfordshire to storm-lashed headlands in Cornwall, I craft wildlife and environmental films that inspire wonder and drive positive change.

Storytelling With a Conservation Heart

Every frame is rooted in rigorous field research and an unwavering respect for the ecosystems I film. My mission is simple: use the power of film to reconnect audiences with the natural world and spark action for its protection.

Gear & Technique

I use a mixture of mirrorless video cameras and DJI drones, paired primarily with fast prime lenses for maximum sharpness and low-light reach. Sound is captured on RØDE systems, ensuring nat-sound beds as immersive as the visuals.

From the lush landscapes of Oxfordshire, Gloucestershire, Cornwall, and Devon to locations further afield in the UK and internationally, I embark on diverse media productions. My ultimate goal is to contribute to prestigious platforms like BBC or Netflix in the future.

Currently, I am immersed in several local nature conservation film projects, including the documentation of Bitterns in Oxfordshire—an endeavor that highlights the significance of preserving these rare species thriving in the UK.

With a dedication to storytelling and a keen eye for detail, I strive to showcase the beauty and importance of wildlife through my work. Explore my portfolio to witness the marvels of the natural world captured on film.
