When ASICS asked me to shoot a short piece around the creation of the new artwork by incredible talented artist Frankie Cihi in Tokyo and after that shoot some runners in Sydney, I didn't think twice. Armed to the teeth with an Alexa Mini LF, Phantom Veo, Blackmagic Pocket 6K, Hasseblad X1D and a bunch of lenses, I travelled across the globe all alone. This truly was an experience of a lifetime for me, and although it was very intense, I loved every second of this trip that felt a little bit like a lucid dream.
