About Marshalands II
In "Marshlands II," the photographer captures one of his most powerful lion photographs in the past decade, paying homage to the remarkable skills of Kevin Richardson, known as The Lion Whisperer. Richardson's unparalleled ability to work with these magnificent cats is celebrated in this image.

The night before the shoot, violent thunderstorms in Dinokeng, South Africa, made sleep nearly impossible. The photographer's excitement, fueled by the anticipation of floodwaters in Kevin's sanctuary, turned the challenging weather into an opportunity. The decision was made to position Kevin's heavy cage in the new marshland at dawn, a challenging task due to the wild nature of the lions.

Recognizing that the only way to approach these wild lions was either through remotes or from a heavy cage, the photographer opted for the latter. Despite adverse water levels ruling out remote control options, the photographer embraced the challenge, getting wet to capture the moment.

The resulting photograph, showcasing an adult male lion in all its majesty, justified the effort and challenges faced during the shoot. It stands as a testament to the photographer's dedication to capturing the essence of these wild and majestic animals.

About Ferrari II
In this photo shoot, the iconic Route 66, symbolizing the American Dream of freedom and ambition, serves as the backdrop near Amboy in the Californian desert. The filmmaker faced the challenge of bringing a fresh perspective to this well-photographed location. To overcome this, a vintage car enthusiast from Hong Kong generously lent his prized possession, the rare 1953 Ferrari 250 MM Vignale Spider. The shoot aimed to metaphorically portray the spirit of Route 66, emphasizing the journey of freedom and ambition. Styled to the mid-1950s, the model, Daniela Braga, exuded positivity and a sense of adventure, echoing the spirit of the famous American highway. The iconic Ferrari added a touch of glamour and elegance to the rugged landscape, creating a captivating visual narrative.
