FOUR SEASONS SERENGETI

In September 2017 I traveled to Tanzania with Matador Network to shoot stills and video for the Four Seasons Safari Lodge in Serengeti National Park. From bush walks with the Masai to a sunrise hot air balloon ride, our itinerary offered experiences that were educational, immersive and truly one of a kind.

Our team also attended a presentation about the Frankfurt Zoological Society's Serengeti De-Snaring Program, of which Four Seasons Serengeti is a founding member. Poaching snares are set up to catch game that can be harvested as meat, but the wires also harm animals like lions and elephants. Since launch of the Serengeti De-Snaring Program in 2017, tens of thousands of snare traps have been removed, and with the continued support of park concessionaires, this initiative will ensure that these amazing animals are protected in the years to come.

CHASING WINTER IN THE PNW

I photographed all kinds of wild and wintery scenes in Oregon last month, but every once in a while I paused to take a quick video too. Sometimes words and images just don't do a landscape justice, so I'm glad I was able to capture the sparkling snow and rugged coast just the way I saw it.

Halfway through the trip I was concerned I might have missed some shots (and woefully misjudged the weather and light), but when it was time to leave I was more than satisfied -- and already trying to figure out a way to get back up to the magical, snowy PNW...
