Solo Explorer | Nature Lover | Sunset Chaser ☀️🗺️⛰️
Hi, I’m Victoria!
I’m a self-taught professional videographer and photographer based in the UK. For the past 3 years, I lived and travelled in my van with my dog, Erik. Now, I’m back in Scotland — the place where my photography journey began, and now my solo travel adventures continue.
If I had to describe my style in one phrase, it would be: “a fleeting moment.” My work captures the magic of movement — hiking to peaks, waiting for sunsets, and embracing those moments that pass in an instant. It's a quiet celebration of life, nature, and stillness.
I hope you enjoy this space — full of passion, presence, and purpose.
Victoria (and Erik "Woof Woof") x

Hi folks!
I recently had the pleasure of joining the FujiLove Podcast! Where we chatted all about photography, Fujifilm gear, creativity, and a bit about life behind the lens too.
If you’re into photography or just enjoy hearing stories from the creative side of things, give it a listen here: fujilove.com/fuji-love-podcast/
Would love to hear what you think and I hope you enjoy it! 📸✨

Good evening folks!
I just thought I’d check in and say hi and I hope you like my new profile picture from Italy (vlog on the way). I actually wanted to say thank you to all you folk for all your support and kind words not just now but always, since I started my YouTube channel. I was having a podcast session today with FujiLove Podcast (should be out by the end of the month) and it was mentioned how lovely all the comments are that I receive and how sincere people are. So I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you, your kind words have always meant a lot, even if I don’t always have a chance to reply to everything, it does mean the world that everyone’s so supportive and encouraging. So this is just a big thank you to you, because without you even realising it you’ve really helped me grow in lots of ways in life — this channel has helped me become more confident in myself, and it’s because of your support it’s continue. So thank you and keep being your lovely selves.
Victoria 🫶🏻⭐️🙂

Hey folks! I’m sorry for the lack of content on my page as of late… I am currently away on a month long roadtrip around Europe with Erik — mainly the Alps for those mountains! And I have been taking some time for me. Also I am happy to say that after a very long time.. I have now been giving some time to something else in my life but I will keep you posted on that ☺️ So all in all, I have just been enjoying this lovely moment in life. I will get back into the swing of things soon and thank you for your patience. Stay wild and free you lovely people☺️🫶🏻✨

I wanted to take a moment to share something honestly…
Over the years, I’ve put a lot of time, heart, and care into this channel—whether it’s my photography, drone work, or the occasional tutorial that many of you have specifically asked for. I do all of this alongside a full-time job in a completely different field, and I don’t get paid for any of this. It’s just me, creating in my spare time, from my own resources and energy, because I love it.
My goal with this channel has always been simple: to share what I do in a way that might bring value, kindness, or inspiration to others. I wanted this to be a space that wasn’t trying to sell you anything, but instead offered something positive—something genuine.
Lately, though, I’ve found it increasingly difficult to keep up with the constant critique and scrutiny that can come with putting yourself out there. Whether it’s how I edit, how I shoot, or even small details taken out of context, it can become exhausting. It’s disheartening to keep putting so much effort in and still be met with negativity that seems more about tearing down than building up.
So off the back off my last video, i’ve decided that I’ll be stepping away from tutorial-style content for now. I’ll continue sharing the creative work I’m passionate about—my photography, my drone footage, my personal projects—but in a way that allows me to protect my energy and peace of mind.
And I want to say a huge thank you to everyone who’s shown kindness and encouragement over the years. Your support has truly kept this channel going. It’s because of people like you that I’ve found the motivation to keep creating. Your thoughtful comments and positivity haven’t gone unnoticed—they’ve meant more than you probably realise.
Thank you for being here. I’m still excited to share what I love—with a bit more peace of mind and a renewed focus on why I started all this in the first place.
Keep an eye out for the next video which will take us all on a trip to Bass Rock to see Northern Gannets 🤍

So today I’m going back to my roots with my Fujifilm equipment videos — which I’m really excited to do again. In particular, these next few will focus on wildlife photography (hopefully gannets and puffins). So I have couple of trips arranged at the end of this week where I will finally get to use the Fujifilm XF 500mm f/5.6 and 16-55mm f/2.8 II - these have kindly been lent to me by Fujifilm UK which is a great opportunity to test this gear in the field - this isn’t a paid promotion and no, I am still not an ambassador but for now lending equipment still gives me great pleasure because I get to test the gear I I’m very passionate about! So keep an eye out in the next few weeks for these vlogs 🙂⭐️✨

Hello folks – long time no see!
As you may have noticed, I just released my final drone vlog from Madeira. It’s been a journey capturing the beauty of that place, and I’m excited to share that the full vlogs – including footage from my Fujifilm camera – will be coming soon.
Since returning from Madeira, I’ve been a little quieter online – and that’s been intentional. I’ve been working on a few side projects and wanted to take some time to give back. One of my goals this year has been to use my photography and videography to contribute to the wider community – to support people, share meaningful stories, and use creativity as a force for good.
Recently, I had the privilege of meeting with the founder of Arclett. Together, we created a short documentary sharing his powerful story of being 10 years alcohol-free, and how photography, nature, and fitness helped guide his journey. Filming for Arclett was especially close to my heart, and it’s been incredibly fulfilling to be part of something so personal and impactful.
👉 If you’d like to watch the project, you can find it here:
https://youtu.be/IIzW7KWNplc?feature=...
Also, if you know of any good causes or individuals who could use a hand from a videographer or photographer – someone to help tell their story – please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’d love to get involved.
I’ll be getting back to making more videos very soon and bringing you more drone-setting content.
And if there are any particular styles or types of videos you’d love to see from me – drop your ideas below and I’ll do my best to check them out!
Thanks for sticking with me.
Stay Wild,
Victoria 🙂✌🏻🌲☀️

Hello!! that is my Chamonix vlog finally up and live - thank you for being patient but I hope you enjoy the lovely snowy landscapes. I had a question for you all, what would you like to see more of in future vlogs? e.g. more travel tips or information on the locations I go to? I know many folk have asked for more drone content and this will be coming soon! I also plan on going on a trip somewhere warm in the next few weeks which is a very lovely place for photography, so yes, if there is anything in particular you would like to see on this/next adventures then drop a comment below.

Another trip around the sun...
So today marks another birthday for me, and I wanted to thank you all for making this last year very special and encouraging a lady to keep following her heart and passion. You definitely have added to a wonderful year. My photography highlights of this year was definitely seeing brown bears in the wild and exploring Slovenia, the beautiful sunset on the Matterhorn, having my drone stolen by an eagle, getting to try out the Fujifilm GFX series and having my collaboration now with OM System. I have also turned a mile stone in my life, as in the last week I have moved into my own home again after 2.5 years of travelling in my van. So lots of big changes for me for 2025, but it is all exciting stuff so here is to the next year - maybe a little older (and maybe wiser!). You'll be happy to know I have also replaced my stolen drone and shall been bringing more content on the way - also some wildlife bits, the OM system vlogs and other fun stuff.
Thanks again for all your support and encouragment, you make this channel what it is and I really enjoy sharing content with you all. Also Erik (my dog and producer) loves being part of it all!
