I was hired as a videographer and photographer to produce a range of multimedia materials, including photography and video Good Return and Chamroeun Microfinance to promote the product they have designed to provide people with with disabilities in Cambodia with financial services to improve their quality of life. This video gives an overview of the process of providing people with disabilities with financial services. Hopefully it will be a vital tool in promoting the services and will be valuable in rolling out the services to other financial institutions and to other provinces in Cambodia, so more and more people can benefit from the valuable service.
Magawa Dies in Retirement
My photography and videography work has been used to again, this time with the sad news that Magawa died at the age of 8. A fitting tribute was paid to him on Apopo’s website and my pictures are videos were used in international publications including Time, Reuters, The Washington Post, ABC News and Forbes. He will not only be remembered for his work clearing mines in Cambodia, but will also for the attention he brought to the subject. Hopefully his legacy will live on and the good work that Apopo is doing clearing mines in Cambodia will progress at an increasing rate.
Director's Reel
I was asked for a showreel by a client. The feedback was positive, but they wanted me to demonstrate that I knew how to construct sequences, which is a valid point, so I put together a director’s reel of some of the projects that I’ve worked on over the years. Previously, I wasn’t a fan of reels, as I thought you could just look at someone’s work to see what they’re capable of, but it works well as a shop window and if it can motivate you to try new things that you may not be able to do when working for clients (which hopefully it will), I can see definite benefits. It can also be a useful tool to review your work and establish the direction you want to take things in.
Videographer for Global Handwashing Day for HappyTap
It was very last minute and a very early start, but it was well worth it to work as a videographer for HappyTap to cover their event to celebrate Global Handwashing Day in Kampong Cham. HappyTap is a social enterprise that provides schools with LaBobo. It’s a simple solution, but it works - children wash their hands more regularly, improving their hygiene and health. The video has been a useful tool to show potential partners what HappyTap do and has helped them secure contract to get more LaBobos in schools.
Commercial portrait photography for Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung
My second time doing corporate portraits and group shots for Simon at Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung. It was good to see some familiar faces and meet some of the new team members. I did the shoot and the photos were retouched by Simon.
