About
My name is Oliver Riley-Smith
I am deeply passionate about sharing compelling stories that educate and inspire people worldwide to take action for a better planet. With a strong foundation in filmmaking, photography, and biological studies, I bring a unique blend of creative and scientific expertise to my work. Currently, I serve as a Videography and Photography Content Executive at Paragraph Publishing, where I continue to refine my technical and creative skills in storytelling through visual media.
My journey has taken me across the globe, with extensive experience in wildlife conservation and environmental advocacy. I have specialised in projects across the UK, South Africa, and Namibia, spending nearly nine months in recent years immersed in conservation efforts and filming for various organizations in Southern Africa. This diverse background fuels my commitment to using visual storytelling to foster awareness, connection, and action for the natural world.
