Recently, the Thai embassy organised a weekend event in Westfield shopping centre, London. Under the title of "The Colours of Thailand" visitors could enjoy the shows of Thai music, dance, martial arts, gastronomy and fashion. I made a video for Bodhi Tea, a company that produces Thai herbal teas and showed them off in this festival. I used … Continue reading The Colours of Thailand
V for Video

I don't find compatible living or shooting an event. I'm either enjoying it o filming it. The approach is completely different. The days previous to my … Continue reading The Alps through the lens
Let’s work together
One of my professional goals is to build a team that I can trust. Meeting new people is something I enjoy a lot, and I find that a team works better when you're not only colleagues, but friends. Last Saturday I had the chance to work for the first time with Hèctor Solé, an outstanding and … Continue reading Let’s work together

Hi there! I'm Albert Bonet and today is my Londonversary. Exactly one year ago I moved from Barcelona to London, searching for experiences.
