This is what he had to say about his experiences:
"Spain was beautiful and it's always great to see and experience different cultures, i have to say that this shoot abroad was the most challenging thus far. Having to produce along with camera operate presented a set of difficulties i had yet to encounter, however i will forever treasure all that i learnt in this shoot, how could I not- I leant a new skill!"
