Hailey Bartholomew - Director.
Authentic human connection and the desire to inspire people motivates nearly everything I do.
I’ve never been able to confine myself to just being a photographer, or just being a film maker, or just making my own range of clothes or just getting my hands dirty in a pottery studio. I want to play with it all.
Having said that, I don’t want to do just anything with this particular medium. I love to create pictures and films that move people, inspire them or tell a story that needs to be told. I’m fortunate enough to have worked for so many businesses and charities that have similar values to mine. My films have been shown on Oprah’s OWN network, ABC TV, Virgin and Qantas. I have many films that have been shared widely online – winning awards at international film festivals and some racking up millions of views. I’ve published two books, one with Penguin that resulted in the opportunity to present a TedX talk on the same subject.
For me it is not just about making something that is beautiful and hopefully moving. It is also about the journey. The space we create and the people we are, on a shoot and in the world. I want to work and be, in a way that helps bring the best out of everyone. I want to facilitate the creation of more work that reflects back to ourselves what is remarkable and beautiful about our world.
