Greetings Earthlings.

Terrene: of or like earth; worldly. Here at Terrene Visions, stories are the language of the human spirit. As we are inextricably tied to our earthly origins, so are the stories we tell. Terrene Visions has set forth to create dynamic stories through still and motion photography. With a keen eye for detail ~just as mother nature intended~ each story is custom-built from its concept all the way through to delivery. Documentarian, Amanda Sosnowski, spearheads each project, adding an environmental eye to directing, producing, cinematography, photography, and editing.

As a documentarian specialising in natural history filmmaking, I bring a rich foundation in science to my craft, drawing on years of research and exploration in the sea. My career began with pioneering work as a marine biologist, where I led a deep sea census of cephalopods (squid and octopus) in the Gulf of Mexico, publishing discoveries about deep sea squid and octopus that have expanded our understanding of these enigmatic creatures. This scientific grounding fuels my creative work, where I specialise in developing innovative, story-led natural history ideas that resonate with diverse audiences. I transitioned into filmmaking to bridge science and storytelling, earning an MA in Wildlife Filmmaking at the University of the West of England in partnership with the BBC Natural History Unit. My short film, Ghost Ponds, received multiple awards, including a Royal Television Society Cinematography Award, showcasing an ability to blend scientific authenticity with cinematic storytelling. Now working as an Assistant Producer at Offspring Films, I contribute to the development and production of major wildlife and conservation series, collaborating closely with contributors, execs, and editors. My expertise spans field directing topside and underwater shoots, developing science-driven narratives, story producing expert contributors, and managing complex expeditions in remote environments. With my strong international expedition background and a deep-rooted understanding of both research and field production, I craft visually striking, scientifically rigorous documentaries that inspire global audiences to connect with and protect the natural world.
