A photographer and filmmaker based in the Scottish Highlands, Rupert Shanks has worked mainly in the adventure travel industry. A teller of visual stories about places and people, Rupert always aims to light up the world and how we see each other. His love of lighthouses may be quite new but now certainly runs deep. Having been lucky enough to work with travel brands such as National Geographic Adventures, Guardian Travel and Wilderness Scotland, Rupert can often be found up a mountain or floating about in the sea. 

Yvonne Gordon is an award-winning writer, photographer and storyteller whose work appears in publications like The Irish Independent, The Sunday Times, The Guardian, The Boston Globe, RedBull.com, Outside and The Washington Post. She was shortlisted in the AITO Travel Writer Of The Year Award (UK) 2018 and her awards include Adventure Travel Writer Of The Year 2019. She has made features and documentaries for RTÉ Radio 1 for programmes such as Seascapes. An experienced sailor, she has a passion for all things maritime and has told stories about lighthouses in The Guardian, The Irish Times, The Sunday Times and Cara magazine and is delighted to help tell the story of this lighthouse through film.
