Exploring China's Guizhou Province

A couple of hundred kilometres north of China's border with Vietnam is an undulating ocean of karst mountains. Guizhou was once considered China's poorest province but now it's one of the fastest growing. Every time I go to China, I'm gobsmacked by the speed at which practical things get done. China decides that poverty needs alleviating, so it builds roads, promotes tourism and after a few years jobs and living conditions skyrocket.

These photos are from a recent recce, and in June, I'll be here filiming for a month on a new series with Beach House Pictures and Discovery Asia. We'll be capturing a colourful variety of cultural stories from all corners of the province, at this moment of collision between nature and technology.

Sunsets in the Kingdom

2016 is coming to an end and I'm taking a quick break in the UK after an intense year of TV projects. First, I delivered Tough Rides: Brazil, 6-part travel series for travel channel, then I edited episode one of The Desert Sea for NHNZ, and finally managed 6 months of weekly post-production deadlines for Canada: on the Road.

My trusty Pentax LX is with me on this trip, with a stunning Pentax 20mm f/2.8 and a Pentax 50mm f/1.2. The 50mm had one knock too many and was unfortunately put out of action after these shots. Film is Kodak Portra 400.
