When deciding on a project I wanted something that was cultural, spiritual, unreal, uncommon as well as visual with a strong storytelling opportunity. Burning Man is unique. It’s unique in its community spirit, its creativity, its self-expression. It’s not merely another festival. It’s a celebration of the human soul.
Burning Man is my first project under the name PlanetVisible, a collaboration with photographers Justin Hession and Pascal Richard. We all grew up in different parts of the world but it’s our shared passion in storytelling and visual imagery that has bonded us as friends. Our friendship has grown into a collaboration where together we seek to Explore, Document and Share stories from around the world, with the world.

The Space Whale is a full scale humpback whale made of steel and stained glass. Lit from the inside at night and mystic in the dust of the Playa during the day, she was truly attracting us like a magnet.
