COURTNEY WIGGINS
I bring ideas to life through moving image and photography, from planning and filming to editing and post-production. With a background in Fine Art, I enjoy creating visually engaging content through narrative filmmaking, portraiture and experimental video. Alongside my creative practice, my experience in higher education and over nine years in hospitality has made me organised, adaptable and confident working with people. I'm now looking to join a creative team where I can continue developing as a videographer while contributing across every stage of production.
