Catalogue Scraps...

It's catalogue time......!  This can be both a great time and a tedious time.  It's awesome because I get to go to locations which I wouldn't normally get the chance to shoot, and I also have the direction of some very talented and creative people.  It can also be a drag having extremely early mornings and even later nights, but the end result is always a reward.  Here's a few scraps from the past few days....

Palau Masokut - Mentawai Islands...

I've just returned from a 10 day trip to Palau Masokut in the Mentawai Island chain off the south-west coast of Sumatra, Indonesia.  I've always wanted to go to these islands to surf whilst I still have the ability to perform at a decent level.  I also wanted to photograph various landmarks, people, seascapes that I wouldn't get the chance to shoot at home.  We scored waves that you'd normally only see in the magazines, stayed at the beautiful Pitstop Hill landcamp and were treated like kings, we ate amazing food cooked by the local women and got to visit Malilimok, a super remote and traditional Mentawaian village with minimal western influence.  I hope you enjoy....
