Simon Sharp: “https://vimeo.com/157031580 Thought you might be interested in a new short film ‘Bad Company’ that just received a Vimeo Staff Pick ! The film depicts the lives of the donkey boys of Kathmandu and the consequences of child labour. Using the Sony A7s I was able to shoot a little more unobtrusively this highly illegal business of child labour and the camera never let me down even under the most extreme physical conditions. There are stills (under the same title) to accompany the film on my site below: http://www.simonsharpphoto.com”
