In 100 words, give us a sense of you as a photographer and storyteller.

Which ocean photographers and storytellers most inspire you, and why?

Why does the Storyteller in Residence (SiR) position interest you?

What stories would you tell with the £45,000 SiR budget? How would you tell them? (Please indicate what percentage of the budget you would allocate to each story and anticipated length of time at each location.)

Through the year you will be tasked with creating long-form features, capturing stunning imagery, sharing social media posts, and creating live material while on expeditions – sharing your stories and SiR journey with the world. Which of these storytelling elements do you feel most comfortable delivering? Are there any other creative formats you are skilled in that we have not listed?
