Photographing 24 International Social media cosmetics bloggers over two days on the island of Okinawa as part of a global advertising product push.

A film using the core photographic genre of timelapse to depict the adventures I went through to capture the passing of the Milky Way over the Iconic peak of Japan's Mount Fuji.

Working through the South African office of Earth Touch I presold the short wildlife series that was shot using smart devices and GoPro Cameras. Our main goal was to show ordinary folk that with some forethought and planning that they can produce wildlife films with their own small cameras.

Whilst based in Bali I pitched and sold the idea to make a short film about the existence of a non profit who were working to save the critically endangered wild population of Bali Starlings. This short was filmed on both the islands of Bali and it's diminutive neighbour, Nusa Penida.

I was part of the marine filming team charged with documenting the 24hr migration of Golden Jellyfish in a landlocked marine lake in the Republic of Palau. A role for which I, and the others, were rewarded with Emmy Awards for excellence in the field of Cinematography.
