Director of Photography Reel from Tanya Poppett Story
I worked as Director of Photography on a video for IconFitness and Stiry. This video is a short compilation of exterior shots from that project.
I photographed Tanya Poppett with the Sony FS5 in 4K Raw using the Sony Gmaster 70-200mm lens, recording on the Shogun Inferno.
The opening and closing drone shots were done with the DJI Phantom 4.
Check out the full video here.
Tanya wanted to work out in a cool location. The Royal National Park in New South Wales, Australia, about an hour south of Sydney, was the perfect spot.
Tanya Poppett is a fitness instructor from New South Wales, Australia. I’m a filmmaker based in the United States.
The Media’s Got It Wrong–Body Image and Fitness
Tanya Poppett is a Fitness Instructor from New South Wales, Australia. Growing up, she struggled with her body image. After trying to be something she knew she wasn’t, she discovered a passion for healthy living, fitness and nutrition.
Tanya believes that “Fit and Healthy” look different for everyone. Basically, she says, “the media’s got it wrong.” Staying active does not just mean ‘hitting the gym’. Through her efforts to learn, teach and inspire fitness in others, Tanya has become a worldwide fitness leader, instructor and coach. Her main objective is to share her knowledge and love for health and fitness, instilling a lifelong passion for active living through innovative ways of getting fit and staying active.

OSTRANENIE–the Art of Erik Linton
OSTRANENIE [Ah-strah-nuh-nee]
The technique of presenting common things in an unfamiliar way, in order to enhance the perception of the familiar.
Erik Linton, is a one of a kind artist. He uses ostranenie to make ordinary things extraordinary. Seeing his art provides a new perspective on the world around us.
https://youtu.be/e4lWCTn6JOk
Erik Linton was born and raised along the Wasatch front, in Utah. His artwork was largely influenced by the mountains near his home. One of his missions as an artist is to help people see things that surround them in different ways. Tree prints provide a unique and extraordinary look into a micro and macro world. Erik gathers wood from fallen trees and tells their story in print–art prints. Erik lives in Hyrum, Utah, with his wife and children. See more of his work here.
I had the opportunity to direct, shoot and edit this video for Stiry.
How to Strengthen Families
Here is a video I worked on for the Sutherland Institute. Erika Huff wrote and directed the video. Tom Garner was the DP. I did the editing, color grading, post production finishing, and, I also did the voice-over. The video has a good message–how to strengthen families. Families are everything. To see more of my work, please browse my home page. Enjoy.
Southern Utah by Drone
The red rocks and blue skies of Southern Utah provide striking scenes for aerial cinematography.
It was late afternoon when I was finally able to open my drone case and get some shots. I felt like I needed to hurry because there was so much beauty and so little time to fly. I barely scratched the surface, so to speak. The good news is, there is much to see and capture next time I go back.
Bonneville Salt Flats Drone Footage
The Bonneville Salt Flats landscape has a stark beauty. The salt preserves and corrupts. Very little can live in the salt. This far from civilization it may as well be another planet. Yet, the solitude, the harshness and the contrasts are inspiring. I would go back. I will go back. I will fly over the salt and the water. Next time, I will stay longer.
I shot this drone footage with my DJI Phantom 4 drone. I also did the music.
