In all my experiences of visiting America I’ve never left the coasts. It seems to be somewhat of a common trend to stay close to the familiar landscapes of Los Angeles and New York. However, I’ve always heard lots of about the southern states of America. The culture, the landscape, the people, the music. New Orleans really seems to be at the centre of all of this. A melting pot of cultures and influences; a physical embodiment of the intriguing and complex history of the south. I’ve always wanted to visit. So when we approached Marriott to help us film a travel series it seemed like the perfect opportunity. Our aim was to travel to three different Marriott hotels across the globe and spend just twenty four hours in each location in order to capture the city and the culture. It was important that each place had a strong visual culture and represented a different part of the world. We decided to start our journey in the United States, then travel to Japan, and finally head to Turkey. Along the way our goal was to capture the variety and contrast between global cultures.
