I’m Stacey, a creative photographer and videographer from Cape Town, currently working as a photographer aboard a cruise ship. My background is rooted in documentary filmmaking and photojournalism, which led me to complete a Master’s in Documentary and Factual Filmmaking in Berlin. That foundation continues to shape how I approach visual storytelling — with honesty, curiosity, and a strong focus on people. While video shooting and editing were my first creative love, my career has spanned real estate filmmaking, social media content, and creative direction for music videos and short films. Across these roles, I’ve developed a strong ability to build visual worlds for the camera while keeping human connection at the center of the frame. I’m drawn to people-centered content that helps audiences connect not just with what they see, but with what they feel. My aim is simple: to create work that stands out, never blends in, and leaves a lasting impression.
