Stephane Sednaoui

As some of you know I once worked under the great talent Stephane Sednaoui.
Stephane, among other things is an amazing photographer, legendary music video artist, and a great friend of mine. I was lucky enough to travel to the most remote and frigid regions of Tibet with for over a month while I helped him work on his upcoming epic photographic book about the country he loves so well. A work in progress for now, you might call it THE book of Tibet. With someone as talented as Stephane and with such an original eye for capturing imagery, you can bet this is not going to be another travel book. As we made our way across 2500 miles of untouched, rugged terrain, I was constantly filming the man at work. If you go to his website www.stephanesednaoui.com (which is under construction), you will see a small video of Stephane that i shot as we were standing in between the break of what was essentially frozen waves, looking out over the most indescribable vast frozen lake at about 15000 feet above sea level, and in -20 degree wind. I'll never forget so many of my days there with Stephane. Hopefully as a world community we will be able to protect this place from being culturally cleansed and over run by the Chinese government. Speak up!!
- Thanks Stephane
