Welcome aboard to a journey that transcends the boundaries of conventional photography. As the Photo and Video Manager on the illustrious ms Nieuw Amsterdam in 2018, my mission was to craft an unforgettable experience for our guests. Leading a team of ten photographers, I orchestrated a symphony of visuals that captured the essence of our guests’ adventures from the first gate to the last in the iconic Panama Canal. I filmed this crossing with 7 GoPro cameras running all around, capturing every single moment and detail that guests would like to see, claiming on the bow bar where the Holand flag was, and mounting the GoPro camera to film guests as well as them enjoying the moment to see amazing Panama gaits opening and filing them enjoyment as they fill that ship, start flouting, and be lifted of the power of the weather. Why did I do this, and why is this so important? The answer is simple, the guests most of them will go out of the cabins and get to the best spot which is the Bow of the ship and they will have multiple time pictures taken with professional DSLR cameras. The Panama weather is always tricky, a few minutes sunny and a few cloudy. Fotografers will know that I would heiglait a day before where and when to change settings and make adjustments to the camera and the images will always turn with amazing quality. All of that will make the guests come to the photo gallery and start to buy photo packages or make an appointment for a professional photo shoot Black Lable.
