WORK WITH ME

FOR BRANDS, EDITORS, AND PARTNERS.

I work with brands, publications, dive industry partners, agencies, and event organizers — when the alignment is right. Here's what's possible. Got an idea? Tell me.

THE SHORT VERSION

A QUICK INTRO.

Multi-award-winning underwater photographer. Expedition leader. Owner of Liquid Shark Divers in the Maldives. I'm based between Fuvahmulah, Mo'orea, and wherever my work takes me — and across all of it, I shoot for brands, publications, and conservation organizations when the work aligns with how I see the ocean. What I bring: an internationally established creative voice, a globally recognized body of work, an engaged ocean community — and the kind of in-water access most brands and editors simply can't get on their own. Tiger sharks on a Tuesday morning. Whales on a Thursday afternoon. Holding the space for people in the middle of their biggest ocean moments. That's a normal work week for me. If your project or audience would benefit from that — read on, then get in touch.

DOOR 1 — BRAND COLLABORATIONS

CAMPAIGNS, CONTENT, AMBASSADORSHIPS.

I only work with brands whose values genuinely align with the ocean — gear, sustainable apparel, conservation-tied products, ocean travel. If your story serves the water, we're already halfway there. Right now I'm a proud brand ambassador for Scubapro, Apnea Evolve, and Weefine, and I've recently created work for brands like DiveVolk and MYMARINI. Some of these started as one-off campaigns and grew into long-term partnerships — that's my favorite way for it to happen, and it's no coincidence: when the alignment is real, one shoot is rarely enough. The work ranges from single campaigns to ambassadorships, custom content packages, and on-location productions.

  1. 01

    01 — First conversation

    You tell me your goals, your audience, and what you're trying to make. I tell you if I'm the right fit.

  2. 02

    02 — Pre-Production

    Scope, deliverables, timeline, contract. Line-item clear, both directions.

  3. 03

    03 — Production

    The shoot: in-water, on-location, or both.

  4. 04

    04 — Post-Production

    Editing in my signature deep-blue style, deliverables to your spec.

  5. 05

    05 — Distribution & Promotion

    Where it fits the campaign, I share the work with my own audience — people who already care about the ocean, not just scroll past it.

DOOR 2 — IMAGE LICENSING

LICENSE IMAGES FROM MY ARCHIVE.

Every frame in my archive took patience — waiting for the light, the position, and an animal's decision to let me stay. If one of those images is right for your story, I'd love to see it travel. I license for editorial and commercial use, quoted per project. Editorial — magazines, newspapers, books, documentary — runs on standard editorial tiers. Commercial — advertising, campaigns, packaging, social — is scoped to the campaign. Rates depend on use, rights, and duration, and I'll always tell you exactly how a quote comes together. Two things I don't do: free licensing in exchange for "exposure," and all-rights-granted contracts. The images fund my work — the expeditions, the conservation, the next long wait in deep water. Everything else is negotiable, transparently.

To get a quote fast, send me: → The image (URL, file name, or a description — "the tiger one" narrows it down less than you'd think) → Intended use (editorial / commercial / other) → Medium (print / online / broadcast / packaging / etc.) → Territory and duration → Your deadline I respond within 5–7 days with a quote. On a tighter deadline? Say so — I'll do my best.

DOOR 3 — SPEAKING

TALKS, PANELS, CONFERENCES.

My favorite thing about speaking is watching a room full of people fall a little bit in love with the ocean — some of whom have never put their face in salt water. That's the job: bringing the deep blue somewhere it doesn't usually reach. I speak at ocean-aligned conferences, photography events, dive industry gatherings, conservation events, women-in-creative-business events, and on podcasts. I'll travel for the right event — tell me what you're organizing and what you hope I bring to your stage. What's behind the talks: 6+ years of full-time underwater photography, global expedition leadership, a literature and philosophy degree that still shapes every story I tell, and the lived experience of building an creative-first dive business from absolutely nothing. I don't do slides full of theory. I talk about what actually happened — in the water, in the business, and everywhere in between.

  • ·Underwater photography — craft, ethics, and storytelling
  • ·Expedition leadership — designing wildlife encounters that mean something
  • ·Ocean conservation through visual storytelling
  • ·Building a creator-led ocean business from zero
  • ·Women in underwater photography and the dive industry
  • ·Sustainable adventure travel
DOOR 4 — INDUSTRY PARTNERSHIPS

DIVE OPERATORS, LIVEABOARDS, AGENCIES.

I partner with ocean industry operators when the alignment is real — and I come at this from a different angle than most photographers you'll talk to: I own a dive centre and creative hub. Running Liquid Shark Divers means I know your side of the business from the inside — the margins, the crews, the weather calls, the guest who books the wrong flight. So when we partner, you're not managing a creative who needs the industry explained. You're working with someone who's made the same 5am calls you have. DIVE OPERATORS — Co-hosted expeditions, guest photographer weeks, and long-term partnerships that go beyond one-off bookings. The best ones grow into something both our audiences look forward to every year. LIVEABOARDS — Guest photographer itineraries, photo-focused trips, and promotional content built from what your operation already does well — no staged fluff, just your real trips shot the way they deserve. AGENCIES & TOUR OPERATORS — You have clients who want more than a booking; I lead expeditions that give them exactly that. Pair us up. On the money side: per-head models with dive ops, hosted-trip arrangements with liveaboards, rev-share or fixed-fee with agencies. I'm open to creative structures — as long as everything stays line-item clear, which is how I run my own shop too. Let's talk specifics.

DOOR 5 — CUSTOM COMMISSIONS

COMMISSIONED PROJECTS.

Some of my favorite work started with someone saying "this might be a strange request, but…" — so if you're picturing something that doesn't fit the standard expedition or campaign format, you're in exactly the right place. Private shoots, brand-specific custom work, milestone ocean sessions, one-off commissioned creative — each commission is scoped individually, because each one is its own animal. Tell me what you're picturing, even if it's still half-formed. Especially if it's still half-formed. What I'm open to: → Private commissioned shoots — in-water or topside, on-location → Brand-specific productions outside campaign cycles → Milestone family or partnership ocean shoots — the moments that deserve more than a phone photo → Editorial commissions for publications wanting custom imagery → Documentary collaborations What I don't do: → Wedding photography that´s not ocean scenery related — a beautiful craft, just not mine → Posed studio work — my subjects don't take direction, and I've grown to prefer it that way → Anything requiring me to stay in one place for more then 3 months (I migrate — like my subjects)

LET'S TALK ABOUT YOUR PROJECT.

Tell me what you're working on — I respond within 5–7 days.

BEFORE YOU SEND.

Within 5–7 days, personally, to every single inquiry — no assistants, no templates, just me between dives. If it's urgent, say so in your message and I'll bump it up the queue.
Per project, scoped to the actual work. Brand campaigns vary widely with deliverables; licensing is quoted per image and use. I don't publish rate cards because no two projects are the same — but I promise you this: you'll always know exactly what you're paying for, line by line. That's how I run everything.
For brands and conservation projects I genuinely love and already use in the water — occasionally, yes. For everything else, I prefer transparent commercial relationships over barter. Not because I don't appreciate the gesture — because clear money keeps the work honest on both sides.
Yes, where the project needs one. Send it with your initial inquiry if it's confidential — I'll treat your idea with care either way.
Constantly — it's half the job description. Travel is built into project scope and quoted accordingly. And between the Maldives and French Polynesia, I'm already halfway to most places.
Different door, same house — head to Learn With Me for mentorships, editing coaching, and everything educational. I'd love to see you there.

The work I'm proudest of came from collaborations where the alignment was real from the first email. If that sounds like yours — I'm ready when you are.
