New Zealand: Graeme Murray

Eric’s passion for storytelling ranges from individual photos to documentary projects. His most involved sports project was The Legends of Cuban Baseball, a three years effort to celebrate the most idolised living Cuban baseball players, who never left the country to seek fame and fortune in the Major Leagues.

Munich: Michael Mueller Fotografie

Michael Mueller has shot the TrueOriginals campaign for Buff.

"The challenge was to find groups of friends and follow and capture their adventures in a way that is authentic and inspiring - but always from the perspective of the product.

In five days we shot urban running, commuting, gravel bike, road bike, trekking and trail running. Tough timing, but we found a real cool cast for all the topics and the city of Oslo and the Jotunheimen National Park in Norway gave us the perfect autumn looking locations we needed for this campaign. "

This Original Buff campaign was shot for Fresh Britain, and production was handled by Natural Born Explorers.
