I woke up in the middle of the night before this shoot because my bed was shaking so much from an earthquake.
A cloud inversion greeted us as we summited a nearby mountain for sunrise and watched the sea of clouds gently drift below us, flowing through the alien landscape.

I lived in Indonesia for a year in 2019. This allowed me to explore further corners of this incredible country made up of more than 20,000 islands- each one unique.

Sumba island was one of the hardest islands to travel, yet the most rewarding to shoot. The size of the island means the drives between locations were each upwards of 6 hours on bumpy unpaved roads. This makes it extra challenging to plan when you’re trying to get somewhere for sunrise.
While shooting off a remote group of islands in East Borneo, we were expecting to just get a couple of shots for our film ‘Dive Reflex’ that we missed on our first day with the Whale Sharks.
Instead we ended up shooting almost 500GB of photos in 1.5 hours because the conditions were insane. Swimming with these gentle giants in the wild is such a magical experience.
No other tourists, nobody feeding them dead fish, no time limit. Just us and these incredible beasts. We’ve all agreed this was the best dive of our lives.
Crazy sand bars off the coast of Borneo. We spent the afternoon here playing coconut bowling and finding as many sand dollars as we could.

Floating up through the darkness of this epic underwater canyon in East Borneo. Chelsea's mask makes it look like she’s wearing a retro spacesuit or something.
I had to dive down about 40ft to get this shot. I could feel the underwater housing creaking and popping under all the pressure. A little bit stressful...Such a haunting yet beautiful place.

Where’s the most beautiful place you’ve ever been?
This underwater cave in Borneo is definitely the spot that stands out most in my mind. I remember putting down the camera and freediving about half way to the bottom before stopping and sitting. I just sat and stared at the incredible light beams illuminating the spring-water filled canyon. I spent about a month prior training my breath holds, so when I got to Borneo, I was completely relaxed underwater. This allowed me to fully appreciate the places like this.
We found this hidden gem in the jungle. The pool was filled with perfectly clear spring water. At first glance it looked as if nothing was living in it, but as we began to walk on the logs, little creatures started pinching our feet. It turned out to be some kind of crawfish with huge claws. We got a pretty funny shot of one attacking the camera.
This tribe of fishermen use hand-woven baskets as fish traps on the sea floor. We spent a few hours following them and documenting their process. They used goggles carved out of bamboo.

As we reached the mountain tribe on Alor, we could hear chanting. The tribe organized a welcome dance for our arrival and had the entire village dressed in traditional clothing.
Josiah and I hiked up this mountain on Padar at 2am to catch a perfect night under the milky way. Usually when you are taking photos of the stars, you have to take a bunch of test shots before you get a result you're happy with. In this case, this was the very first shot we took. The beam from Josiah's headlamp was symmetrical in only this shot, and the milky way was lined up perfectly.

While on a job for the tourism board, we spent a week sailing through the Komodo islands on a ship that closely resembled a pirate ship. A crew of 9 people took care of the 4 of us as we tried to figure out how we had ended up in such a place.
Mt. Ijen is a volcano in East Java with natural blue fire, an acidic crater lake, and extremely physical sulphur mining.
My friend Cam Vaughne has spent the past few years documenting the life of these sulphur miners, spending time with them in their village, and last year he raised money to buy protective equipment for 27 miners, and this year he hopes to outfit all 107 miners.
He introduced us, and we spent the morning with the miners in their harsh working environment. Billowing clouds of sulphuric acid gas burn your eyes and lungs as you get close to the lake. As we struggled to breathe, the miners calmly stood in the clouds of burning gas, smoking filterless cigarettes.
We interviewed some of them and they said the influx in tourism is a blessing, not only because they can make more money, but because it has helped them realize that their home is one of the most beautiful places on earth.
Indonesia will always hold a special place in my heart because of how much time I’ve spent there and fallen in love with the people, the culture and most importantly the nature.
