Sebastian Professional What's Next Awards

I am still working through my travel pics but I have lots of other work on the go so I will get back to it. I just shot for the Sebastian Professional What's Next Awards by the very talented Kristen DeJong.

I just love this first image!

The Tannery

One of the most interesting sites in Fez is the Leather Souq and the oldest leather tannery in the world.

I was lucky enough to get to shoot right down in there and it was an unforgettable experience. I almost fell in, the guy in the red t-shirt saved me. The pits are really close together and the ground in between them is wet and unstable but it didn’t stop me from getting right into the middle.

Thankfully the Moroccan ‘gasmask’ really does the trick. We shoved a whole bunch of mint right up each nostril.

The Desert

One of the most memorable things you can do in Morocco is the camel ride through the Sahara Desert as the sunset. It is quite a surreal experience. The sky is changing colour all the way along and the colours are simply awesome.

Vietnam - the people

Vietnam is an incredible country, I think its mainly the people that make it what it is, they are so happy and welcoming. From the bustling streets of Hanoi, the serenity of Halong Bay to the chilled vibe of Hoi An everyone you meet will be full of smiles and humbleness. I got lost just watching people everyday. A photographers heaven!
