A recent river walk to photograph the infamous Himei Habu pit viper in Northern Okinawa. Rather than just shoot a standard portrait of the subject I wanted to create an emblematic representation of the truly wild space that is the Yanbaru National Park along with one of it's more infamous subjects.

This film was made in association with one of my sponsors, namely KANI Optics filters. You will see the filters used in this film to accomplish specific looks.
