My inspiration

I have a particular passion for landscape photography. From Himalayan mountains and South American rainforests to the streets of Jerusalem or the World Cup in South Africa, the search for jaw dropping vistas and cultures continues to fuel my love of independent travel. Everywhere I go, I take my camera and lenses.

My photo of a 3-mast tea clipper in Antarctica waters at twilight was a finalist in The Sony World Photography Awards. The magical scene was shot from the top of a glacier. The tea clipper in the foreground looks like a toy ship next to the glaciers, allowing the observer to appreciate the wondrous scale of the landscape.

How to match images and sound

I worked with 3D sound designers to bring the whole experience to life: the noise outside the venue, the anticipation of the crowd, the energy of the arena as the musicians are about to go on stage. The cinematography and sound has to work together perfectly to make the viewer feel as though they’re actually there.

The great thing is anyone can have a go at adding sound to their photography thanks to the image and audio capabilities of today’s digital cameras. Next time you stop to capture a beautiful landscape, a bustling scene from a foreign holiday or even a happy family occasion, think about the sound too. From there, look through your photos to find the most impactful ones and think about how you might match those with your most evocative sounds.
