Holiday & Travel Video

Videography

View of New York

Overview

When I go on holiday, I am that guy that takes thousands of photos and hundreds of videos. I love capturing moments and memories & creating a holiday video that perfectly reminds me of the destination and the laughs I had. My aim is to be discreet with the amount of technology while using modern and up to date cameras or phones to capture the footage. I like to do it as compact as possible but still achieve that cinematic feel.

When I shoot in Scotland, I can afford to take more gear with me so usually there's a drone in the boot of the car and a more substantial camera.

New York 2017

Italy 2017

Equipment: iPhone 7+, GoPro Hero 4 with Karma Grip, Final Cut Pro X
Story: The summer of 2017 saw a holiday around Italy in 35 degree heat. Travelling on the high-speed trains around the country was fascinating with each stop along the way completely different to each other. Italy is high on my list of favourite places to visit.
