Cinematographer Bob Poole grew
up in East Africa where his father was the Director of
the Peace Corp and later the Director of the African Wildlife
Foundation. It was through his parents that Bob gained
a life-long appreciation of the natural world and developed
an adventurous spirit. The family spent countless days
camping in the African bush amidst the abundant wildlife
that flourished throughout Kenya, Tanzania & Uganda
in the 60’s and 70’s.
An avid still photographer, Bob become intrigued with cinematography
after assisting with a National Geographic film while a teenager
in Kenya. Later, attending college in Bozeman, Montana, Bob

After graduating with
a degree in science Bob desired to return to his interest
in photography and pursue a career in filmmaking. Through
a series of fortunate circumstances, he was able to work
with renowned filmmaker, Wolfgang Bayer and later traveled
the world assisting acclaimed National Geographic cinematographer
Norris Brock.
Bob became a specialist in aerial cinematography having
designed and created various aerial mounts for fixed wing
aircraft and helicopters. “Coming of Age with Elephants” a
documentary for National Geographic Television about his
sister, Dr. Joyce Poole, the renowned elephant researcher,
was Bob’s first film as a Director of Photography.
That film led to an extensive credit list with National
Geographic, Discovery and PBS. For the past 14 years Bob
has traveled the world as a Director of Photography documenting
science, nature and adventure films.
Today his work is shot primarily in High Definition video
on his Sony F900. He spent a year on the road for “A
Year On Earth” with the Bahati Productions team of
John Heminway and Katie Carpenter, filming endangered wildlife
and habitats, low-flying aerials and high-impact scenes
in high-def in Botswana, Kenya, Brazil, Costa Rica, Bahamas,
