In the lead up to the Global Climate Action Summit #GCAS2018, we are joining the #EyeOnClimate challenge to spotlight solutions to climate change. Antarctica: The last embers of a sinking sun set over the shoulders of unwalked peaks of Palmerland in the Antarctica Peninsula. This photo was taken by @fraser_ross_morton during a trip to the continent in March with @ecobusinesscom and Channel News Asia and using Sony cameras. Eco-Business released its short documentary From Asia to Antarctica in June 2018, which tells the climate change story through an Asian lens. You can see the film in @far_features bio. This documentary, by Eco-Business managing editor @jcheam and Scottish documentarian @fraser_ross_morton, is part of Eco-Business’s larger Changing Course campaign on climate action. It documents the ClimateForce: Antarctica 2018 expedition in March led by Sir Robert Swan, a British environmentalist and explorer who was the first man to walk to both North and South Poles. The documentary also features beautiful footage from the South Pole Energy Challenge, which took place in December 2017 to January 2018. It was the world’s first renewable energy expedition led by Sir Robert Swan and his son Barney Swan. The Peninsula is the fastest-warming place on the planet, and has warmed 3 degrees in the last 50 years. In 2017, the Larsen C ice shelf broke from the continent. It was 70 times larger than the country of Singapore, the island nation where we began our Antarctica expedition. “Our population is expanding, people need resources, but we cant just do it in the same way. So, we have to make changes. And I am looking to Asia business to see that this can be a business opportunity as well as the right thing to do so we can all actually survive on Planet Earth," polar explorer Rob Swan told us on the expedition. #eyeonclimate#Antarctica#climatechange#documentary#2041#climateforce#globalwarming#sony#sonyambassador#bts#behindthescenes#antarctic#sony#mediaproduction#nature
At our booth at the Epilepsy World Congress for our first day filming and photographing portraits for our new multimedia documentary project, A Life Electric. This is a project exploring epilepsy in 2018. A day we wanted to mark. We set up a backdrop and some lighting for the day and interviewed medical professionals and people living with epilepsy from Europe, Asia, Africa and Australasia who wanted to have their opinions heard. The subject matter is challenging in terms of how to tell this story and it’s complexity, but I can see after day one of interviews there are people around the world with shared struggles and stories that we are going to tell. Lots of friends have already pitched in to lend a hand on this project and @risyianamuthia was there helping us report on day one. More to come.
March 9, 2018 – Into The Void Things have taken a turn for the weird. We sail into the blackest of black Antarctic nights through a calm, waveless sea and thick blizzard. Snowflakes rush out of the void and into the giant blue beams of light, which shoot out from the top deck scanning the black sea for icebergs, AKA ship sinkers. Feels otherworldly, with no division between sea and sky and the knowledge sinks in that we are very far from home. New-found respect for those early explorers coming down here unaided in wooden ships and without sonar. Incredible. #antarctica #2041 #documentary #sonya7riii @2041climateforce Image by Far Features’ @fraser_ross_morton

Mountains At The End Of The Earth: Steep glaciers – more than 300 meet the sea on the Antarctic Peninsula – which flow downward and create iceberg factories on both the west and east coasts. The glaciers morph from plateaus, flowing between rocky mountain peaks. Photo: Fraser Morton #antarctica #documentary #Sony #sonya7riii

Meet Sam Edmonds, Sea Shepherd filmmaker and polar photographer. "Like most places on Earth, even Antarctica hasn’t managed to escape the reach of our species as an array of threats are becoming increasingly ominous for this continent. The impacts of anthropogenic climate change are being felt on the peninsula, but we are still yet to quantify the impacts of it locally..." An excerpt from our conversation with polar photographer and guide Sam Edmonds. Read the full article and selection of his polar photography our 2041 link in our bio.

[09/09]Excerpt from our photo essay and film Vape carvers “Watching Tegal work a realisation comes to mind that for the carvers the nature of their canvas is not important - bone, wood, statues, paper or composite - but instead following their calling to the craft for the sake of creativity. Nothing more, nothing less. For now, they are vape carvers. “In Bali to survive with art we have to do it with feelings and with heart. We can do more than what machines can do and this is our competition and our battle now. Not everything can be valued with money or wealth. It’s how we can be valued through conserving arts and culture that we have in Bali that is important to us.” . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #natgeotravel#newfeature#far_features#documentary#travelportraits#tribes#essay#cntraveler#globetrotter#people#worldcaptures#portraiture#traveltheworld#docu#documentary#documentaryphotography#everydayeverywhere#ig_travel#traveltheworld#feature#travelgram#instatravel#passionpassport#traveldeeper#travelling#travelstoke#bali#indonesia#vape#vaping#vapeculture
