A self-taught wildlife cinematographer from Ballinasloe is set to make his television debut
Aughrim native Jack Kelly will appear on BBC Springwatch at 8 tonight, showcasing footage of basking sharks filmed off Ireland’s Atlantic coast.
Jack has combined a background in marine biology with a practical, field-driven approach to filmmaking.
His work focuses on capturing authentic wildlife behaviour in real conditions, often relying on instinct and timing where moments cannot be repeated.
Jack’s creative style is also influenced by his background in music, which he uses to shape pacing, tone, and emotional impact within his work.
The Springwatch presenters are excited about Jack's contribution to tonight's programme
