Little Cayman, Cayman Islands

What’s your favourite vacation destination and why?
It depends what ‘vacation’ means…I love to actually relax in Little Cayman as the pace is so slow and it’s the true island life. Very relaxing. I love to go to places that have art, culture, interesting people and stories lingering around every corner. It makes it interesting to film.

How did you get into journalism and drone photography?

I’ve always loved telling stories and being creative. I studied multi-media journalism at university and video is a great way to tell a story.

What are your top tips for taking stunning vacation photos?
I guess to try something different and don’t do what everyone else is doing. Trust your gut and take photos of what inspires you and tells a story.

As a Cayman Island resident, what are your top 3 things to do on the islands?

Definitely visit Stingray City and get out on the water in some capacity. Indulge at the many exquisite restaurants. Mix and mingle with the locals and get to know the people, culture and the history here.

Drone photography in the Maldives

What’s your favorite Instagram picture?

Probably one with my dog. She makes me so happy! Or one of the drone shots of the beaches – drone photography is always great to look at, as you can’t see it for yourself.
