ABOUT | Antonia Mixie Salter

WELCOME!

Based in Wales, my work as a filmmaker, creative producer and photographer is driven by a love of wildlife, the outdoors and environmental storytelling. I have a Master’s degree in Wildlife Documentary Production with Wildlife Biology, Ecology and Behaviour (Distinction), and enjoy creating films that connect people with nature and inspire positive action.

My work has received film festival recognition and several awards over the years. I’ve produced natural history, landscape and adventure films and environmental campaigns for organisations including the Wildlife Trusts, Seawatch Foundation and WWF.

For the last six years I have worked as a shooting creative producer, editor and photographer for the thriving channel GrowVeg, helping to develop its visual style and production quality, becoming the UK’s most-watched gardening YouTube channel with well over 1 Million subscribers.

I’m happiest working on location and bring a strong combination of creative, technical and outdoor skills to my work. As a qualified Mountain Leader, Divemaster, canoeist and drone pilot, I’m comfortable accessing and filming in remote and challenging environments. My expedition leadership and logistics experience spans Tanzania, Ecuador, Costa Rica and Wales, and I’m equally comfortable managing the practical demands of working independently to meet editing and graphic design deadlines.

Also experienced in camera equipment maintenance, rigging, rushes management and field logistics, I’m experienced with a wide range of filming techniques, including long-lens, macro, slow motion and time-lapse, as well as broadcast cameras, run-and-gun filming, audio systems and drone cinematography.

Equally comfortable behind the camera, in the edit or managing the logistics of a production, I bring a hands-on, adaptable approach to every project.
