GEORGE KAMPER + SAUDI ARABIA
June 14, 2022
Traveling to Saudi Arabia with a small motion crew, George Kamper's
shoot adventure included shooting a Saudi military base, the Kingdom Tower, a Riyadh teahouse, modern Riyadh, modern Jeddah, and the old town of Jeddah.
Having worked with this Director and DP team on location around the world on several occasions, it allowed George to seamlessly capture storytelling imagery, in concert with video. The collaborative shoot contrasted the modern with the classical. Embracing Saudi culture, focused on the concepts of respect, partnership, technology, innovation, and friendship.
One of George's strong suits is envisioning the shot and positioning himself in the right place at the right time. Seamlessly adapting - set to set, lighting setup to lighting setup, without disrupting shoot flow - that is its own art form.

Every summer campaign has that one shot everyone reaches for, someone floating peacefully in a pool with a drink in hand, soaking up the sun. Photographer Amy Mikler wanted to know what happens five seconds later, when a kid jumps in, water flies everywhere, and the float is over before anyone can call it a wrap.
Two years ago Denise said yes to the biggest project of her career. A London publisher wanted her to research and retell folktales from around the world, one for every turn of the season, write the retellings herself, and illustrate all of it.
