PHOTOGRAPHY

Hardest shoot

It is still hard to beat the Lorax

Project. The goal was to film a feature

movie about climbing and BASE

jumping off the remote Frenchmans

Cap in the Tassie wilderness. It

provided the perfect mix of hard

work, creative collaboration, having

a lot of fun with mates and we were

surrounded by beautiful landscape on

top of that. The one moment which

stands out is definitely the abseil

into the sheer 500m high west face

of the Frenchmans Cap to shoot the

climbers on their way out. It definitely

was one of those trouser-filling

experiences which makes you feel

small but alive at the same time and

which makes adventure photography

so exciting.
