"'Come into the cold' was shot in February for the New Zealand clothing brand Kathmandu winter campaign. It was art directed by Glenn Gibbons, who I previously worked with on the Intercontinental hotel brand. We started in Tokyo capturing the frantic city and then travelled to the prefecture of Yamagata, famous for its for mountains, hot springs and temples. On Mount Zao, the snow covered conifers or “snow monsters”.

This was an amazing trip, and I was lucky to get it finished before the world locked down. 

Big thanks to production from @beyond.tokyo @intrepidtravel, Kathmandu producer Rachel Kelly and the rest of the crew that made it happen."
