HABARI PRODUCTIONS

Stephanie and her husband Ben also run Habari Productions - a creative media space with a focus on giving back. Steph and Ben have travelled to some of the most remote places on Earth, and are inspired by the people they meet and the stories they have to tell. Steph and Ben’s photographic work has been shortlisted by National Geographic and has featured in broadcasts and publications around the world.

Through their travel, Steph and Ben worked as WorldNomads.com Travel Safety Reporters and filmed in Colombia and Mexico.

They have also advised the BBC Natural History Unit along with a range of TV channels and production companies on how to film in Australia, remote Africa and Asia. 

In the digital space, Habari Productions was among 75 influencers around the globe who took part in the world’s first social media relay, in collaboration with Helloworld.

OFF BEAT TRAVEL

Along with working in the media, Steph and Ben have been travelling and taking photos for more than a decade in places including Syria, Iran, Africa, Myanmar, Mongolia, Mexico, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Europe, America, Maldives our homeland Australia, and so many more.

In 2012 they swapped their TV producing world in Sydney for the depths of Africa. They explored West Africa, Ethiopia, Sudan, Rwanda, Kenya and Tanzania and lived with some of the world's most remote and endangered tribes. 

They met families living on the edges of civilisation. They attended ceremonies, rites of passage, religious festivals and traditional dances. There were times when they were literally off the map! Humanity in all its beauty, horror, strength and weakness can be seen in Habari’s photographs. 

PHOTO EXHIBITION AND BOOKS

Habari Productions' 'Tribe' exhibition was held at Sydney's Queen St Gallery on July 19-31. 

Habari’s work has also been showcased at Two Hands Wines in South Australia's stunning Barossa Valley, along with a pop-up exhibition at X&Co Cafe in Crows Nest.

Steph and Ben have also published a hard cover photo book: 'Tribe: Life on the Edge. A story of beauty and survival. It features 224 pages of stunning photos from their TRIBE exhibition. The forward is written by Simon Reeve.
