UFC Chronicles Masking Pain, The Robert Follis Story (2022) - Webby Nominated

Underwater Camera Operator

   My first time working with the UFC, I was asked to come cover a serious story. Robert Follis was a highly successful and talented UFC coach based out of Las Vegas who sadly committed suicide. His girlfriend found peace through scuba diving, and we wanted to tell her story.

​

   We met up and collected everyone in Khao Lak, Thailand before heading off to Similans National Marine Park with a speedboat. Our final destination was a remote island called Koh Bon, located far off the Andaman coast. It's home to some of the most spectacular marine life in the country.

​

   It was an excellent one day shoot where we ended up doing 2 dives and even got lucky spotting a Manta Ray! I captured lots of footage of both her and the marine life and we had excellent ambient light and perfect blue water visibility.
