BBC Innovators

Sponsored by the Gates Foundation, BBC Innovators was an eye-catching series focusing on novel projects around the world spurring social innovation. The pieces were glossy, creative and great examples of picture-led story-telling - great people and projects breaking new ground and driving social change and development. I was lucky enough to be Director of Photography and cameraman on all six of the Indian programmes.

​

I have included four of the digital media edits for you to enjoy. The rushes were also cut into a long-form piece on water and development.
