Aquaid Promotional Film

Malawi is a fascinating place and I’ve been lucky enough to work there a handful of times.  This time I was with the Aquaid Lifeline Fund.  Since 1999, the charity’s work has supported many thousands of children and young adults across southern Malawi.  Shot over 12 days, the promotional film highlights the fantastic things being achieved in one of the poorest countries on earth.  The portraits were shot alongside.
