The Global Photographer

I have been kicking around the idea of offering African safaris for those who shoot exclusively with video. There are a number of challenges in this area, mostly relating to equipment: proper stabilization for each person for their video gear. A proper tripod with a fluid head is essential for good quality video, and I have the vehicles, knowhow and staff to make it happen. In fact, trips can be co-led by myself and a person in the video production industry. I just don't have a good grasp on how large the market is. One thing is for sure: video is an increasing market, and I anticipate in the next 5 years that many still photographers will be shooting with video equipment for their still images. We will be able to extract 1 frame out of 30 frames in a second, at a resolution high enough to produce A3 or larger sized prints (12x18 or larger).

Drop me a line if you are interested in participating in an African video safari.
