Michele Benoy-Westmorland is the founder of Westmorland Images. She’s a freelance photographer with a range of skills, including lifestyle and underwater photography and worldwide travel. The photographer understands the need to tell a visual story, and it doesn’t matter what it covers, whether it is the wonders of the natural world or exotic locations.

Additionally she’s passionate about the culture of Melanesia and this can be seen in her project titled “Headhunt Revisited.” She believes that a successful marketing campaign gives the viewer a holistic view of the journey that they are embarking on. At Westmorland Images, the photographer provides incomparable imagery and branding for properties, adventure companies, and yachts.

Michele has captured more than twenty liveaboard yachts with one of the major clients being the Dancer/Aggressor Fleet.
