ABOUT
Kyle is an Emmy award-winning filmmaker and underwater cameraman best known for his work in open oceans, kelp forests, and bioluminescence. Kyle’s scope of work extends from marine-based Natural History, host-led broadcast TV, to cultural films. He is passionate about respectfully bringing the far-flung corners of the planet to the big screen in a way that promotes empathy and awe in the audience, while benefiting the cast and characters of the film.
With a career starting in 2011, Kyle worked as a divemaster aboard Horizon Charters, learning to dive the California channel islands and spending over 100 days cage diving with the Guadalupe’s great white sharks.
In 2014, Kyle gained international recognition when his photo of a harbor seal was published in National Geographic’s May issue, and has since been published in Scuba Diving, Alert Diver, and others.
In 2016, Kyle and a team of five others successfully crowd-funded The Manu Project, and embarked into the Amazon for 30 days to produce a short documentary film on the indigenous communities and their cultures.
Kyle became a National Geographic Young Explorer in 2017, receiving a grant to photograph bioluminescence underwater utilizing long-exposures and high sensitivity cameras.
