About Stay Wild Creative

Hi, I'm Sophie.

Stay Wild Creative is my studio — I'm a travel and lodge photographer based in Laikipia, Kenya, working with a wide range of lodges, camps, products and brands across Africa.

My story

How I got here

Eight years ago, I moved to Kenya and quickly fell in love with its people, landscapes and wildlife. Photography and videography have always been a passion of mine — I was always the one behind the camera, even while working across marketing, lodge management and the travel industry, travelling throughout Africa and telling stories along the way.

Over the last few years, that passion has become my main focus. What started as something I did on the side has grown into my career — capturing photos, filming reels and documenting the moments that make a place unique.

Today, I work with a wide range of lodges, camps, products and brands to create authentic content that connects people with places. From intimate tented camps to exclusive-use safari properties and the products that go with them, I believe every place, brand and story is worth telling well.

My goal is simple: to create meaningful content that inspires people, works hard for the brands I shoot for, and shares Africa's incredible stories with the world.

I've partnered with brands like Roofpod, ROF Boots, Wild Cooler, Chommies, Donkey Long Tong, Dometic and Melville & Moon — creating brand content across Africa with their products, in the wild and unique environments that give them a story worth telling. If that sounds like what your brand needs, let's make it happen.
