Back in September I went on a huge mission - a shoot in two countries, lot's of travel, crew, talent... It was also the third time I went to shoot in the desert this year (here's
1 and
2), must be a trending thing.
We shot lifestyle and sports, it was both challenging and fun. A huge thanks to everyone who made this possible, super duper special thanks to Vio, Izaak and John! Let's do this again!
Here's some behind the scenes footage which I can share by now...

The top bit of the Burj Khalifa, we went all the way up one night. I think you can go half way for a third of the price which is less of a rip off. |

This was definitely just shortly after sunrise and just moments before the sand got burning hot |

The afternoon held some mixed weather for us. Sunny on the right, rainy on the left and we thought it's funny that it's raining in the desert. |
|
just moments later the wind picked up and we found ourselves in a massive sand and rain strom |
