This dynamic role combines technical filmmaking expertise with creative storytelling abilities to create compelling visual narratives that showcase vessels, destinations, and maritime lifestyle moments through professional-quality video production.
Working with state-of-the-art equipment and creative autonomy, yacht Videographers produce diverse visual content ranging from documentary-style voyage records to professionally edited marketing materials and personalised memory collections. They translate the unique aspects of maritime travel into engaging visual stories whilst adapting to the technical challenges and opportunities presented by the marine environment.
Key responsibilities include planning and executing video shoots in various conditions, conducting interviews and directed scenes when required, and managing the entire post-production process from footage organisation to final delivery.
