About me

I graduated in 2017 with a First Class Honors Degree in Screenwriting from Bournemouth University. Here, I cultivated my skills in creative writing and media production before I began my role as lead Videographer at Bumblebee Digital. At Bumblebee Digital, I produced content for client's social media channels and websites ranging from promotional videos, typography animations and interviews/testimonials. My desire for travel however, sought me to transition to work on cruise ships, becoming a photographer and videographer for The Ships Photographer. In this role, I have risen to the position of Portrait Artist and Videographer, capturing high quality portraiture in studio and out on location. This is alongside my video production responsibilities, for the ships entertainment departments, Carnival UK marketing and also key brands partnered with the fleets. I have been fortunate enough to travel to over 40 countries, and in each port I have been required to collect stock footage and pictures for general sale in the ship's on board photo gallery and for use in the voyage videos produce and sold on board, too. My travel experiences have lead to personal projects as well, as I have cultivated my own blog and podcast linked to travel.
