I am a professional videographer and photographer. I also am founder of Alama Creative Solutions Limited, a production company based in Arusha, Tanzania. I believe we can contribute to peoples lives through telling stories. Stories form our past, present and future. Whether real or fiction, they define who we are and where we are going. In African cultures, where people’s histories are narrated from one generation to the next, stories define culture and identity. Stories are who we were, who we are and who we will be in the future.

I am a content creator and visual story teller based in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania with an insatiable hunger for capturing moments and telling stories. I mainly focus on travel, lifestyle and documentary photography. I have had the opportunity to work with various different companies and organizations for documentary photography including Vodacom Foundation, Tearfund UK, UNAIDS, Pernod Ricard, La Marzocco and Utengule Coffee Estate to name a few. In most of these my job was not merely a photographer but I also doubled as a translator, English to Swahili and vice versa, and in some cases I was responsible for the research before the assignment as well. Having worked with different organizations across different themes and different conditions, I would describe myself as passionate, flexible, adaptable, resilient, emotionally intelligent, ethical and hardworking; qualities which I either learned or improved during the different missions.

I'm a Canadian with a Master's degree in journalism from Carleton University in Ottawa. I like long form in all its forms (radio/TV docs, magazine articles, nonfiction narratives, etc.) for the challenge it presents the journalist and the nuance/knowledge it -- at least, potentially -- affords its public. Since finishing school in the spring of 2013, I've been living in East Africa. Recently I spent five months working in a Dar es Salaam TV newsroom, working as a co-conspirator of sorts, employed by the Canadian organization, Journalists for Human Rights. The goal was to generate human rights stories with impact. Now I'm bouncing between Kenya and Tanzania, freelancing. I'd love more work. I like consuming content about people or communities doing or dealing with exceptional, off-the-radar things. I like producing pieces about the same. I'm lugging a Swahili textbook around with me, and can carry a (short) conversation. You'll find examples of my video, print, audio, and photography work in my online portfolio: http://briellemorgan.weebly.com/. Thanks for your consideration!
