BRING YOUR CREATIVE VISION TO LIFE

Photography, Video & Other Creative Workspace

I got an accidental reward while taking some amateur shots during a reporting trip in China with my New York Times correspondent. The photo landed on the front page, while the written story got buried deep inside the pages. Here are some shots or narratives that made me proud of what I do every day:

    climate glacier exhibition wall projection-1

    This was inside a gallery of our glacier exhibition many years ago. A person was photographed against a three-panel projection that filled the wall with magnificent glacier images under Mount Everest and other big mountains in Asia. We were affording the visitor a visual feast of the scale and magnitude of the glaciers and how alarmingly fast they are melting. And we also made a video about the story:

     

    Community Transformation

    I was particularly proud about this project because I intentionally sought out extra photos from the community organization we were filming. They collected quite a group of before-and-after photos of the neighborhood and individual houses both the interior and the exterior. It was a heart warming transformation of the community. And I made sure to use some of the visuals in the video story as well:
