I had a privilege to spend one month in Papua New Guinea with great underwater videographer and photographer Libor Spacek from www.escapetonature.eu production.
My main job was to take some nice aerial footage with my RC helicopter. Beside that there was many interesting things for me as photographer and also many unforgettable divings.
Papuan people are mostly very friendly and happily posing in front of cameras.
I have lot of interesting photos from various locations and will try to be very selective
If moderators agree I will post by 10 photos per post so it will be easier for members to look and track them.
Very nicely done. I spent 2 weeks over there in 2012 visiting family up in Goroka. Your pictures bring back many fond memories, and truly portray the people in everyday life. Looking forward to future posts.
Very, very strong images here. You appear to have had the trust of your subjects to have gotten this close, with such a slice of intimacy. Your post work is similarly strong. Clearly you know a very lot about what you are trying to do. Congratulations.

Those are really some stunning images, especially the last few! But what are they chewing on to make their mouths red?
They chew betelnut mixed with lime? which turns it red. The sidewalks in Port Moresby had red splotches all over them from being spit on when I was there some time ago.
There's a big sign at the airport with the punishment for using it at the airport.
great image set. On some of them the clarity slider is pushed a bit too far for my taste, but that's a minor nit.
Is that your octocopte ? looks like a nice setup with plenty enough lift for a dslr or mirror less camera. Would love to see some aerial photography of the region too.
This is my smaller foldable octocopter. It's good for very remote traveling and it can carry Panasonic GH3 or some smaller DSLR.
Unfortunately under agreement I can't share any aerials video for some time. Here you can see this octocopter "in action" on top of the active vulcano Tavurvur.
