My name is Hannes Rohtma, and I am an independent wildlife cinematographer.
    My niche is showing nature from angles we don’t normally see in everyday life.
    I am inspired by the realization of how challenging it is to capture such footage – obstacles are my greatest motivator.
    The engineering profession gives an advantage for finding technical solutions for more complex filming processes.
