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.

SMARTLING INC.

In early 2019 I was approached by Smartling Inc., a language tech company, to produce a photo series and marketing book for their "Move the World with Words" campaign. The idea behind the project was simple: if we could put a spotlight on the human element, which is so often overlooked in the digital age, perhaps we could see how ideas come to life in other languages. I spent two months interviewing and photographing a dozen Smartling translators in nine countries, and I also spoke at the company's annual Global Ready conference.
