St. George Island
A reel of the Forgotten Coast made for no client and no brief, shot on the stretch of coast Kyle was raised on. The lighthouse from directly above, the water tower at last light, the beach on an ordinary afternoon. Knowing a place well enough to know when to be standing there is most of the job.
Nobody commissioned this. It is the stretch of coast Kyle was raised on, shot because he knows when the light is worth being out in: the lighthouse from directly above, the water tower at last light, the beach on an ordinary afternoon.
It stays on this page because it demonstrates the thing a brief cannot buy. Knowing a place well enough to know when to be standing there is most of the job, and it is the difference between coverage that documents a location and coverage that argues for one.

Project facts
Black's Island
Seven acres in St. Joseph Bay, twenty bungalows on a boardwalk, reachable only by boat or helicopter. The job was to sell the isolation, so the aerials had to establish that there is nothing else out there.
