ME: When and How did you start of selling stock?
GH: I uploaded my first clips that sold in Jan 2012, but and didn’t take it seriously until MotionElements contacted me in Dec 2013 to organize my Asian collection.
ME: Do you have a favourite piece you made? If so, what is it and why is it your favourite?
GH:I have many favorites. The South African collection from Kruger National Park was fun to capture.
ME: If you have a once in a lifetime shoot and you could only grab one piece of equipment to bring with you, which equipment would you bring and why?
GH: Canon 6d and my 24-105mm lens. This is a versatile setup that I can rely on to allow me to focus on capturing the moment.
ME: How would you describe the work that you do?
GH: I try to tell a story on film mostly travel related footage that involves attractions, people, culture, nightlife, and good. I try to bring a cinematic feel to my footage incorporate certain lenses, angles, and accessories.
