Khiva just after sundown, I was surprised how well the low light works on the Mavic 2!
Such a crazy, mad, beautiful world out there! @kristian__rene @sethbeckton @sumprods @rebellerally
Just months ago it was all an idea, and now it’s manifesting right in front of us. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The Rebelle Rally is an all women off-road race guided by only compass and maps, yep that’s right, no cell phones or GPS for 10 days straight in the deserts of Nevada and California! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The idea and inspiration to shoot a doc about one woman’s journey to compete in the Rebelle Rally with a 92’ Reconditioned Mercedes G Wagon (that runs on chocolate biofuel) came from no one other than herself, the all powerful and resilient @kristian__rene ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So far we have spend countless hours in the shop, building out the car, going on off-road trips to the desert, testing, re adjusting, failing, and succeeding, in both the preparation for the race and also a filmmaking stand point ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Here we are, just days before the start of the Rebelle Rally, spirits from everyone are at an all time high, but it’s not all sunshine and fresh tracks in the sand all the time, this is called one of the hardest rally’s for a reason, so it shouldn’t be easy, but it’s less talk, more do.. let’s go! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #rebellerally #chocolove #fueledbychocolove #nevadaoffroad #rebelle #offroad #racing #documentary #sonyfs7ii #sonya7iii #sonyalpha #djimavicpro2 #natgeoyourshot #nationalgeographic #mercedesoffroad #gclass #gwagon #filmcrew #bts
Having a creative career sometimes presents the most crazy challenges, and other times it may present a once in a lifetime opportunity ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Attending the Sharq Taronalari International Music Festival was undeniably a once in a lifetime opportunity, not to mention getting to be right down in the action of it from where I took this shot ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The festival is one of the largest in Central Asia, and happens every two years in Samarkand’s stunning Registan Square. It’s made up of musicians, dancers, and other artists to create an unforgettable experience! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Hopefully, I’ll go back to this amazing UNESCO site sometime in the future! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #uzbekistan #visituzbekistan #uzbekistanairways #planewindow #travelbyplane #wanderlust #smallworld #artofvisuals #travelawesome #followmefaraway #createexploretakeover #travelingpost #travelandlife #sonyalpha #sonya7iii #alphashooters #justgoshoot #artofvisuals #natgeoyourshot #nationalgeographic #silkroad #worldwide
I had a really good talk yesterday with my team about social media and all the different ways it ties into humans ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ First of all, as a species were really a test subject for a ton of crazy things happening in the world that ultimately we invented (the internet and social media being a huge game changer) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It makes you wonder if humans were really meant to take on such an immense amount of data each day from these things, in the long term scope of the world... maybe not? But either way, we can choose to adapt in a meaningful or destructive way ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I agree that social media has a lot of downsides like making people compare their life to others, or blowing up spots that maybe were not ever meant to be found and posted online. But there’s always a positive way to shift your mindset about it, and I haven’t mastered this but I will say since I started using social media it’s actually motivated me and unearthed the possibility for my own life, and now I’m just sharing hoping to do the same for some other people ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Happy Tuesday and much love! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #uzbekistan #visituzbekistan #uzbekistanairways #planewindow #travelbyplane #wanderlust #smallworld #artofvisuals #travelawesome #followmefaraway #createexploretakeover #travelingpost #travelandlife #sonyalpha #sonya7iii #alphashooters #justgoshoot #throughthelens #natgeoyourshot #nationalgeographic #silkroad
Finding magic and synchronicity in Khiva Uzbekistan with the stunning @zaradurrani ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Thankful for adventures near or far, it could be on the other side of the world or simple a drive in my car. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ No matter where, I’m really just trying to soak up the unknowns and the unexpected moments along the way. Sometimes it’s good, sometimes it’s bad.. but I think we need that balance to operate in our best flow ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Where are some of you’re favorite adventures that take place close to home, or super far away? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #uzbekistan #visituzbekistan #uzbekistanairways #planewindow #travelbyplane #wanderlust #smallworld #artofvisuals #travelawesome #followmefaraway #createexploretakeover #travelingpost #travelandlife #sonyalpha #sonya7iii #alphashooters #wicuzbekistan
Morning meditations with @thatsannabelle ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’ve been trying to cultivate more time each morning to be without electronics, go outside, think clearly, and mentally prep for the day. I think it’s had some profound effects with how I choose to go about the day ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What do you guys do to cultivate mindfulness, I’d love to hear some processes! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #cabosanlucas #mexico #yoga #meditation
I had a great time on the fun side of the border exploring Cabo San Lucas with some radical friends! Video in the next post 👈 #ilovemexico
I will never forget this plane ride from Khiva to Bukhara Uzbekistan. It was a short flight, maybe just over an hour. But it was some of the most barren terrain I’ve ever seen. It looked exactly like being on the moon in certain areas! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Flying is probably one of my favorite things to do, seeing the world from a higher perspective, thinking what could be going on below you, it’s close to being a meditation for me ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ For the first 20 minutes of the flight I was able to spot the border of Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan, a fine black like making its way throughout nothingness terrain, it was a spectacular sight! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #uzbekistan #visituzbekistan #uzbekistanairways #planewindow #travelbyplane #wanderlust #smallworld #artofvisuals #travelawesome #followmefaraway #createexploretakeover #travelingpost #travelandlife
When I told people I was going to Uzbekistan, the most common answer I got was “where is that” and “don’t die” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I would be lying if I said I had heard of Uzbekistan before I got the chance to travel here, so I totally understand people not even knowing it is a place, which I think makes the journey that much better ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Whenever I travel, no matter where I like to have zero expectations of what I will see, do, and feel along the way. I actually try to forget that I’m going until the day of travel comes, I’ve found that this mindset enhances the journey so much more ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ When you leave all expectations at home, you open yourself up to the synchronicity that is present and ready for you. It’s such a huge power just waiting to be uncovered. I even believe some of my best pieces of work also align with this philosophy, and even just simple life concepts do also! Here’s to following your heart! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #uzbekistan #traveluzbekistan #wicuzbekistan #thattravelblog #adventureculture #obsesh #earth_deluxe #artofvisuals #travelawesome #followmefaraway #createexploretakeover #travelingpost #travelandlife
Conversations with great people about tools of the trade ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’m working on a really special project right now with some amazing people, and part of that means we get access to these these fancy vehicles and cameras. I had a great conversation about the stereotypes of a G Class with @kristian__rene on the way to Arizona ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Now a lot of people think of the Mercedes G Class as a status symbol, a luxury vehicle that is made to look cool and maybe go off road a little bit, but it’s much more that that. It started as a military vehicle and was first introduced as a passenger vehicle in 1979. The history of these cars and how they have gotten to where they are in 2019 is incredible. I was amazed at the build quality and feel of this machine, you can really feel so many emotions driving it ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ My main takeaway from this experience and what I wanted to say in this post is that we have these tools for a reason, they are meant to be respected for what they are. So no, we don’t have this for looks, we have this for purpose, passion, and quality... and some fun ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #filmmkrs #gwagen #v8turbo #sonyfs7 #adventure #rebellerally #berthabenz #offroaders #offroadlife #adventurevisuals #adventurefilm #fstopgear #pelican #protecttheadventure
A shot I took just outside of my cousins house in Northern Alberta. There’s something about being up here that’s a little more pure than the city life. Less distractions, more time to focus on family or nature. I’d like to spend more time up here in the future, venturing farther beyond Valley view up into the Territories! I’ll be scrolling through my google maps sometimes in awe of the landscapes that are up there! ❤️🌎
Some studio parking lot shots from back on the old baby blue! Good times ✌️ 📸 @sethbeckton @renegadecity.thecollective
After arriving to Samarkand yesterday we went straight to Registan square for the famous Sharq Taronalari International Music Festival. I had no idea what to expect when I showed up, but I could sense it would be spectacular. We got to see the president @mirziyoyev_sh and his daughter @saida_mirziyoyeva Along with UNESCO Director General @audrey.azoulay awesome to be in the presence of these people. The night was followed by an amazing show of cultural music and dances which took over 3 months to prepare! I was overwhelmed with the beauty and appreciation of being able to attend such a unique and legendary event.. thank you to those who made this possible and to all my new found family on this adventure! #wicuzbekistan #visituzbekistan #samarkand #uzbekistan #unesco #registansquare
There’s some serious magic about Khiva, I feel like I walked into a whole different world today! Uzbekistan, you are amazing! Thank you to @worldinfluencerscongress and @obseshmedia for this incredible opportunity to spend time here with some of the most intelligent and creative people I’ve met! Loving every second of it, even the 5am wake up calls 🤟#visituzbekistan #worldinfluencerscongress #khivacity #silkroad #uzbekistan
