Profile
I live an outdoors and digital lifestyle combing my love of the outdoors with my passion of videography and photography together to be able to to create and explore new ideas. Over the years I have developed my skills in camera work, editing programs (photo and video) using lighting and audio equipment, drones and with underwater camera housings. (I have all my own equipment). Before going professional as a content creator I gained my hard working ethic and skills from my previous jobs as a surf beach life guard, climbing instructor and dive master. This how now lead me to working with some amazing people and brands to produce high quality professional content for a range of companies.
Experience
Videographer – Shore Watersports
In this role as content creator and editor I was primarily in charge of creating video content for the companies social media platforms, including Youtube and Instagram. On a regular day, I would plan and set up the studio in preparation to film. There are many important aspects to successful footage such as ensuring lighting is correct, setting up equipment , preparing products needed in the shoot and conducting audio tests. This job has allowed me to work with initiative as an independent photographer in different indoor and outdoor work environments.
Dive master – Cairns Australia
Working on diving boats as a dive guide I conducted safety briefings and planned out the logistics for dives. I had the important responsibility of looking after divers in and out of the sea whilst they were exploring the reef. This job role taught me how to stay calm when a difficult situation arises and how to work in tough conditions.

have excellent lifeguard training by the RNLI. Working on beaches in the South Coast of England, I have spent two seasons as a beach lifeguard. I am fully trained in first aid, which is necessary when responding to any rescues or incidents that may occur whilst I was on duty. This job taught me a great deal of responsibility.
The Calvert Trust
The Calvert trust allows children and adults with severe learning disabilities to experience out- door activities in a safe environment, which they may not usually have the opportunity to participate in. I was lucky enough to assist in these activities which I really enjoyed.
