Smartphone Filmmaking in Ghana

     In October 2015 I had the opportunity to travel to Ghana on a healing and cultural retreat and be the lead photographer/filmmaker of the trip.

Leaving my larger camera equipment behind, I wanted to challenge myself and capture all of the images and video with my Samsung Galaxy Note 4 smart phone and stretch this technology to it's limits.

What I learned was that the image, story, and vibe are most important in the creative process and that I can create great looking images with any camera and not to get so wrapped up in the thought process of having the "right" gear.
