Stay Wild Creative

Photographs and films that carry a place, a lodge and its people, honestly.

I'm Sophie — I work across Africa's finest lodges, camps, products and the brands that support them, building image and film libraries that sell a stay, tell a story, or simply tell the truth about a place worth staying wild for.

What I shoot

Ways I tell a story

Each project is different, but the throughline is always the same: real light, real moments, and images built to work as hard as the people they're made for.

Video & Film

"We've worked with Sophie for over four years, since RoofPod first started. Her work has helped us share the epic adventures of our pods across Kenya and grow our client base in both Kenya and the UK — we now have over 25 RoofPods out there in Kenya."

About the work

Eight years telling Africa's stories in full colour

Based in Laikipia and on the road for most of the year, I partner with lodges, camps, brands and the products that go with them to build honest, usable image and film libraries — the kind that get used on every channel, for years.
