Spend a little time in Sydney and you’ll soon realize its ocean pools are a landmark at locale. They have a long history in NSW as segregated baths but now open to the public for anyone to enjoy Sydney’s waterfront. I shot this 360 virtual reality experience for The New York Time’s newly launched Australian bureau.

VR: Night Sessions lit by Ledlenser

Partnering with Portland-based agency, The Program, this summer, I field produced, shot and edited a 360 virtual reality experience Ledlenser to showcase their new headlamp at the 2016 summer Outdoor Retailer trade show. This project required us to shoot entirely in transitional light within a very short time frame, which pushed our crew logistically. It was great to problem solve and strategize how to best show off this incredibly powerful headlamp in creative ways – we had a perfect location in Hood River’s Post Canyon and really awesome riders who were willing to push the boundaries to get the shot. We worked with a new rig – the Radiant Images Dark Corner rig, which handled the low-light and showed off the product really well. It was also great to work with a commercial client on a VR experience and see the possibilities for how this new technology can be utilized commercially.

DAILY 360 – SYDNEY’S WAKE UP SWIM

Explore NYT: The Daily 360

As part of the launch of the Australian bureau of The New York Times, I shot this 360 virtual reality experience of one of Sydney’s most beloved morning rituals – the daily Bold and the Beautiful swim between Manly and Shelly beaches. The swim started a decade ago when a few friends decided to make the mile-long coastal paddle and turned it into a daily event. Now, hundreds of locals start their day this way.
