After an epic 36 hours traveling back from Australia, here are a few images from the shoot. Living and working with the Wooroora Aboriginal group who are still allowed to hunt/fish/gather using their traditional methods. So much done and so much learnt, an amazing trip in an amazing and sacred location.
