At the beginning of 2018 I was able to take some time to
visit a part of the world which I have yet to really get the grips with as much
as I would like, South America. I have had assignments in Central America
before (Guatemala and Mexico) but as a region it’s not somewhere I have really
got to explore yet. I was lucky enough to travel on the maiden voyage of a new
route for Norwegian Airlines as they flew their first direct flight London
Gatwick to Beaunos Aires. The assignment that took me there was a story on the
Iberรก
region, and I teamed up with the writer Amanda Barnes for this. Once done on
that assignment, we took an extra couple of weeks to shoot a story on Gaucho
culture. We covered everything
from the gauchos of the wetlands who have learnt to swim with their horses, to
the horse whisperers of the La Pampa and the hardy Gauchos of Patagonian
wilderness
I have since turned this into a self published book and you can purchase
a copy of that here. To see more of this project as it is on the website click

Once again if you are interested in buying copy of the book you can find it here

Hey Greg, stumbled upon your work by way of photoeditor. What medium was this project shot on? Film or digital? What lenses do you carry along for something like this?
Hi John, This was shot on digital - Canon 5D mkIII's. I tend to use prime lenses - mainly the Canon 35mm f1.4, Sigma 50mm f/1.4, and the Canon 85mm f/1.2. I also use the Canon 24-70II f/2.8 a lot - it's great lens. I did shoot some film work on my trusty Widelux but that work doesn't fit so well with the project.
