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.

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.

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.

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.
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.
Inquire about licensingTALKS, 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.

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.

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)

BEFORE YOU SEND.
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.
