Testimonials
“It was a great experience being the photographer/videographer at NOCP because it gave me an opportunity to grow as a creator and enhance my skills to capture and tell a story. Being out in the ocean forced me to be at the top of my game to capture the moment because it might not happen again. Preparation, a creative perspective, and organization was necessary in order to accomplish my task everyday and for people to cherish the moments I have been blessed to capture. I managed to get a couple of consistent clients because I showed them the NOCP video and they wanted me to make a similar video for their organization, business, etc. ”
