Archival Research & Licensing for Film, TV & Commercials with a focus on History and Sport

I shape media projects through the editorial use of visual archives.

My work focuses on documentary films, journalistic formats and commercials that use archive material.

I am passionate about telling stories from the past through historical footage, photography and original documents — bringing them into a contemporary narrative context.

Over 15 years, I have developed deep expertise in working with archival material for film and television productions. This includes extensive work on history and sports documentaries.

As an Archive Producer and Visual Researcher, my work includes:

• sourcing and researching visual material
• clearing rights and licensing footage worldwide

I combine editorial thinking with a strong understanding of rights and production workflows — supporting projects from initial research to final delivery.

Let’s Work Together

If you are looking for unique archival material or need support with footage licensing and rights clearance, feel free to get in touch.
