Chocolate-Addicted Adventurer


Name: Guna Subramaniam


Age: 41


Star sign: Supernova


Hometown: Singapore


Current location: Melbourne, Australia.


Occupation: Cameraman/photographer/edit or.


Where do you shoot? Mostly around the Asia Pacific and wherever the job takes me.


What is your academic background? A number of media related courses, including photography, film studies at Melbourne University, an audio engineering


diploma at SAE Institute.


How did you become a cameraman? I was a sound engineer for film, music recording and live sound for 10 years. I then volunteered with NGOs in Africa and Asia working on the illicit wildlife trade and environmental crimes. I was configuring pinhole lens cameras and video recorders for investigators and training them on their use, then presenting


cases to government officials and video footage to media and news agencies. This soon led to a position managing wildlife protection projects around Asia. I guess because of my


experience in dealing with people from various backgrounds and my technical skills, I was getting requests for video production work with development and humanitarian organisations. They also contacted me because of my knowledge and familiarity of their work or the issues they work on, so I am not just a 'cameraman'. This has kept me busy and free to pursue my own film projects.


Current assignments: My clients have been mostly NGOs, as well as development agencies and the UN. I've just returned from South


Korea, filming the action behind the scenes with NGOs, celebrities, politicians and farmers working to bring the cruel bear bile farming to an end. Prior to that I was in Vietnam on a shoot for an agriculture project
