I live underwater.
& Occasionally on land.

Hi, I'm Courtney! I'm a scuba instructor and photographer based on Gili Air, a tiny island off the coast of Lombok, Indonesia. Most days you'll find me shooting people's first dives, guiding, teaching or trying to get a nudibranch in focus whilst trying to have perfect buoyancy (and some may say - failing miserably)

While underwater photography comprises 95% of my life, I also shoot above the surface, having actually started in photography at a summer camp in Utah (of all places!). Weddings, concerts, portraits, lifestyle, travel - I love people and I love stories, whatever shape they come in. Whether you're getting married on a clifftop or diving for the first time, I want to be there with a camera.

Currently obsessed with

Macro shots! After purchasing a macro lens I've been loving snapping the details on the reef, from corals to little nudibranchs!

Favourite dive site

Seahorse Bay for the macro shots and Shark Point or Halik for wide-angle reef scapes!

What do I DO?

From 30 metres underwater to the front row of a festival - I shoot it all. Underwater reef scenes and marine life, weddings and elopements, concerts and live events, maternity and portraits. Whatever the environment, I'm interested in shooting it!

CONTENT CREATION

I create photo and video content for dive brands, dive centres, and lifestyle businesses. Having worked in social media (in various niches including being a dive centres marketing manager) alongside my photography, I understand what actually performs - not just what looks pretty. I can handle everything from the shoot to to posting. Reach out and I can send my brand kit if you are interested in working with me.

There's a whole other perspective from above. I use drone footage to capture dive sites, coastlines, islands, and ocean scenes that you simply can't get any other way - perfect for tourism content, resort marketing, and dive centre promotions.
