Last week, Shamin Abas sent one of the best PR people in the company, and probably one of the best invitations ever! Sting to perform exclusively for the guests in the “Private Preview”, Ferretti Group’s annual event in cooperation with the Yacht Club de Monaco. The investigation followed the next day with exclusive Ferretti Yacht sea trials off the Monte Carlo coast. I just had a few minutes to dream like the reality of the 500 things I should get to make this a reality and book a flight in 24 hours and of course how to pack. High-class problems I was aware of. It was not lost to me how decadent it all sounds and I sometimes have to experience these kinds of things it is not the norm.

A deep breath, a strong cup of coffee and angry blasting around L.A. to get some new camera equipment I want to test… And then I was off! 48 hours later I slipped across the barren landscape in Iceland for a 10-hour stopover to scout the Thrones-esque landscape for an upcoming shot in October. Just a few hours after a sharp breeze was pushed in from the coast of Reykjavik towards the cliffs I shot off, I needed to jump back on a plane and be ready for a quick meeting in London.

Absolutely not rested and with too many stopovers, I punished myself to save money and maximize my trip, I was then switched off from Gatwick. A quick meeting near the English flight hub. After taking a couple of hours of sleep I wake up. It was 5 o’clock in the morning using a strong English tea to get up off the French Rivera.
