I recently had the opportunity to work with National Geographic and Toyota as the talent on a commercial campaign for the 4Runner, shot in and around Bend, Oregon. The project focused on how the wild shapes us both physically and mentally and how vehicles like the 4Runner make those remote, rugged places more accessible. From climbing at Smith Rock to kayaking alpine lakes and navigating dusty backroads, the shoot was a mix of adventure and storytelling and collaborating with a crew that valued authenticity and exploration made the experience especially meaningful. I wrote three articles for the National Geographic website. You can click on the button below to read more.
