Tamara Stubbs has been professionally recording sound since 2002.  She has worked in a range of challenging environments including dressed in full PPE in Chernobyl, and West Africa for a month during the Ebola outbreak, and in the frozen polar regions.

She has mic-ed up contestants running the Tough Mudder, climbers, surgeons, insurgents, parachutists, presidents and royalty amongst the many contributors.

Whilst her speciality is Science and Factual documentary she enjoys working on many other assignments including: on the road cooking programmes, expert lead business troubleshooting shows, undercover filming, travel, comedy, commercials, and wildlife documentaries.

Tamara’s work takes her to sea, Polar regions, into centrifuges, hadron colliders, operating theatres, up mountains, into treetops, camel beauty contests, cattle camps in South Sudan, middle eastern wedding parties, Brazilian favelas, high security labs, super yachts, army bases, into rainy seasons, along bumpy dirt track roads, camping with the Bedouin, and into the ‘poo lab’ with Michael Mosley amongst many other locations.
