Planes, Trains and…….. Supertankers?
Late last year I had the privilege of shooting G.E's 'Australia Works' campaign with the handsome peeps at Clemenger BBDO. To match the challenging brief we searched high and wide all the way around Sydney, Western Australia's Pilbara region and Japan. We tramped through deserts in home-made Boy Scout outfits to shield us from the sun, needle grass and Death Adders (sadly, no photos survived of the makeshift outfits). … [Read More...]

Nicknamed, 'The Gateway to Hell', after 2 million people 'vanished' in Stalin's notoriously brutal labour camps, it sits in the far north east of this massive country. On a recent work trip to Russia we had an over-nighter in Magadan on our way further north into the arctic circle, having flown 8 hours from Moscow to get there. Like being … [Read More...]
