Some shots feel uniquely victorious. Almost like a flow state for film making. This felt like one of em. We had about 15min to get a portrait and drone shot of Rory in the green jacket at what’s typically a VERY crowded Giants Causeway in Northern Ireland. At sunset no less.
The drive to the location was drizzly and overcast but right before sundown the sky parted just enough for the sun to breathe a bit of life into the sky and add a shimmer onto the ocean.
I snapped these of @rorymcilroy between our takes and remember turning to @el_dreaski and said something like “this is a really good life moment.” And it was.
Some stills from @peopleofthewestseries . What an honor to shoot this series with a host of dedicated artists and Natives from California. The series will span 10 episodes, exploring California’s history from a Native perspective. This perspective is so often left out of the history books we see in school and sheds light on the true experience of California Natives over hundreds of years.
Special thanks to @phillip__montgomery for bringing me on board and to @nataanii_cegielski and @mistajoshua for their crafted direction. 🙏🏻 to @michaelfitzpd for his lovely sets and @nickfrancophotos for keeping things steadi.
More info coming soon with full credits but for now please give @peopleofthewestseries a follow for more information.
Troy Staime : Camera Utility. ATL.
Big ups to our producer, Lisa Bilek who put aspiring film makers on our crew. Troy was great, worked hard and asked great questions. If you shoot in ATL ask if he can be your utility on set!
I always try and take a solo walk for a few hours when I travel for work. In BA I stumbled across a crew skating a double set of stairs and hung around to snap a few photos.
When I was leaving @igvx2000 stopped me to introduce himself and his friends. They were super cool and laid back and it reminded me of how much I still love skateboarding and the community behind it. I really do think it’s the most beautiful and creative sport in the world.
What a priveledge it is to be able to travel for work. A quick glance into other people’s lives and communities that are different and similar to yours all at once.
