Digital Divide Data photo shoot

I had the pleasure of shooting documentary stills this month for Digital Divide Data. The approach was a mix of staged and documentary photography for DDD’s future publications and websites -

“DDD delivers digital content, data, and research services to clients worldwide including research institutions, cultural heritage organizations, nonprofits, NGOs and commercial enterprises”.

DDD train students to work as researchers and image/document archivists. Their Cambodia head office and training center is based in Phnom Penh. There are also several rooms at Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum dedicated to archiving the images and documents that survived the reign of terror during the Khmer Rouge era of 70s Cambodia. Below are a few examples from the images I shot over the two days.

Qantas Airways, Travel Insider - Free the Bears

A travel feature photography assignment for Qantas Airways’ Travel Insider inflight magazine, written by Ann Fullerton. The trip was part of a wider tour run by travel company World Expeditions. Below are some tear sheets from the article plus other shots from the Free the Bears sanctuaries located at Phnom Tamao Wildlife Rescue Center, Cambodia, and Luang Prabang, Laos. As well as a short side trip to Mandalao elephant sanctuary in Luang Prabang.

Scenic Spirit- river cruiser brochure shoot

A few of the lifestyle shots from Scenic’s SE Asia brochure campaign shoot can be seen in the Lifestyle gallery.

The three day photo shoot was shared with an Australian TV crew from Sydney who were shooting a walkthrough video piece. While we shot in one area of the ship, the Aussie TV guys would be in another area, exchanging actors as we went through the day.

The Scenic Spirit sailed from My Tho Vietnam in the Mekong Delta to Phnom Penh Cambodia. No guests were on board but the ship’s Cambodian hospitality crew were there to take care of meals and cabins as well as acting in the shots. A great experience working with the Scenic art department and fun loving Aussie actors. Plus the food was excellent!

Silkwinds Inflight - Phnom Penh Cocktails

Another editorial shoot for INK Publishing and Silkwinds, Silk Air's inflight magazine. The article was written by Jamie Fullerton about Phnom Penh's trendy cocktail bar scene. The images were a mix of pop-up studio product photography, one light portrait photography and some event style shooting as well as some night photos. The five establishments were situated around the Bassac Lane and Toul Thom Pung market areas of Phnom Penh. Below are the tear sheets taken from the online publication (found here).
