About us
We are NOUSMADIC
We’re photographers, filmmakers and content creators under the name of Nousmadic. Obviously we love travelling! We love travelling so much that we’ve decided to do it full-time. Ok, you get the idea, right?
After many years of working for big London companies in the film and music industries, we decided to start a new adventure, our own adventure with business. We’re mainly focusing on photography and filmmaking, but we also get involved with commercial work, like motion design, digital marketing, web design, etc.
Our goal and purpose is to capture the unique essence of each place we visit. Through our photographs and films we aim at bringing those places and moments into your experience.
The name Nousmadic is a game of words, Nous and Nomadic.
Nous is an English word derived from Greek that means “mind” or “intellect”, often associated with a sense of wisdom, insight, and thoughtful creativity. It represents our approach to life and work: thoughtful, intentional, and driven by curiosity.
Nomadic refers to a lifestyle of constant movement, exploration, and adaptability, embracing the freedom to roam and discover new places, ideas, and experiences.
By combining these two, Nousmadic embodies the idea of living and creating with purpose while constantly exploring new horizons, both in the physical world and within the realms of creativity and thought. It’s about blending intellect with adventure, and taking the journey wherever it may lead.
The Team
Travelling is our passion
Debora
Hey there! I’m Debora, the half of the whirlwind that is Nousmadic.
Creativity and curiosity have always been my driving forces. My professional journey has taken me through some interesting twists and turns. I spent years working in the film industry as a lighting and compositing artist on feature animation projects, but before all that, I was immersed in web design, music video production, and graphic design.
But travel? That’s been my true passion all along. There’s something about being on the road that makes me feel “whole”: it’s the best way to see the world, gain fresh perspectives, and learn more about myself.
In 2023, I took a leap of faith and decided to hit the road full-time, combining my creative skills, as a photographer and filmmaker, with my love for exploration. And that’s when Nousmadic really started to take shape.
Oh, last but not least, I’m totally obsess with food, I love cooking and eating! (My Italian origin might have something to do with it!)
Hi! I’m Raf.
I’ve been addicted to travelling for as long as I remember. So far I’ve visited over 40 countries all over the world.
My creative journey started with music. For the past 30 years I’ve been playing bass guitar in various bands, and also recorded two albums. Nowadays I mostly create film music, which we use in some of the movies on our Nousmadic YouTube channel.
In the beginning of my London life I discovered photography, and then other visual disciplines like film and animation. It eventually led me to working for the past 10 years in the music industry as a Digital Designer. I kind of made a full circle… from music to music. But it seems my love for travelling and independence was stronger!
Since Summer 2023 most of the time we live on the road travelling in our van called Ginger. Something that was my passion for many years, finally became my daily reality. I could not imagine a better life than a life on the road. And I’m so grateful for this!

The Journey
Creative Ideas In Motion
Since Summer 2023 we are mostly on the road, travelling in our van called Ginger.
Being on the road allows us to gain a very particular perspective of a permanent outsider, but after some time the patterns and repetitions begin to emerge. And yet, each place we visit is unique, and not like anything we’ve seen before.
With a bit of surprise, we’ve discovered that life on the road is a rather busy one. Things you normally take for granted, suddenly need to be carefully organised, and just going about your day can completely fill your time. It’s probably a good idea to work sometimes as well…
But in all of this, we finally feel alive. Alive to the core of our beings! Being on the road and heading to a new location often feels almost like a life-changing event. We never know what is going to happen. But what we know for sure, is that the next day will be completely different than the one before!
The journey continues. Always.
