Planning a Project?

Collaborations may include:

  • Tourism and destination storytelling campaigns
  • Destination photography assignments
  • Hospitality and hotel photography
  • Culinary and cultural storytelling
  • Editorial travel features
  • Destination logistics, maps, and travel guides
  • Image licensing for tourism, editorial, digital, and print use

Projects are ideally planned five to seven weeks in advance, when possible, allowing time for research, logistics, partner coordination, and on-location storytelling.

Focused photography assignments and shorter projects may require less lead time depending on location and availability.

Why Work With Me

My work combines photography, destination storytelling, practical travel knowledge, and first-hand exploration to create content that remains useful beyond the initial campaign.

I am a 2024 TMAC Gold Medal recipient, a TMAC member from 2022–2025, and a member of TravMedia.

“Roland is a world-class photographer… a creative and informed eye… an excellent fit for our destination.”

— Andrew Hiscock, Eastern Newfoundland
