If you’re here to work with me, you’re in the right place…


I’m Dan, a content creator based in Cornwall and I’m the driving force behind Bimbling, Books & Beer. I create story led content built around real experiences, from long distance walking and overland adventures to independent stays, breweries and slower, more reflective travel.

Everything you see across my platforms is filmed, edited and produced independently, out in real conditions rather than controlled environments. My work is built to feel honest, immersive and grounded in place.

Most collaborations grow naturally through longer term projects, but I also work with brands on focused campaigns, launches and one off pieces where there’s a genuine fit.

If you can see your brand or project sitting naturally within the world of Bimbling, Books & Beer, then we’re already on the right track.

Production Setup

All content is filmed and produced independently and in house using a mobile field production setup designed for real conditions, not controlled environments.

Core filming kit includes:


▶ iPhone 16 Plus — flexible, high quality filming across all conditions

▶ DJI Action 5 Pro — durable, stabilised footage for walking and camp based shoots

▶ DJI Mini 4 Pro — aerial cinematography and location storytelling

▶ DJI Mini Mic system — clear, reliable audio in exposed environments

▶ Canon 4000D — high quality still photography for campaigns and brand assets

What We Can Create Together

Every project is different, but the goal is always the same to create something that feels real, grounded in place, and genuinely works to connect with people. I pride myself on making sure what ever we create you’re happy with.
