In May 2012, Colombia’s former Minister of Interior and Justice, Fernando Londoño, was targeted in an attack in downtown Bogotá. As a photojournalist on the scene at the time of the blast, I captured the aftermath of the attack and my photographs and story were later reported in the Counter Terrorist magazine, which is published and distributed internationally. The magazine, published by Security Solutions International LLC, aims to deepen understanding of issues related to terrorism and is a service to the nation’s first responders and homeland security professionals. The May 2012 issue of the publication showcased my material and included an article by correspondent Glenn McGovern on the attack on Londoño, which was one of the major articles in the issue. The blast killed Londoño’s driver and bodyguard, and around 40 people were reported to have been injured. The police blamed Colombia’s largest rebel group, the Farc, for the attack, which came just hours after police defused a car bomb near the headquarters of the city’s police. Londoño, who has been highly critical of the rebels, was hit by shrapnel and had to undergo surgery to remove a piece of metal lodged near his clavicle. Despite the severity of the attack, Londoño survived and my photographs and story helped to shed light on the tragic event.

Muay First Fight is a gripping and intense documentary that follows the journey of Muay Thai fighters as they enter their first professional fight. The documentary was produced by Stony Studio for the Yamasaki Academy and directed by Stony Studio’s own Ronan Ó Conghaile, with myself serving as the technical director and cinematographer.

Filmed over a period of 30 days in Washington DC and Maryland, Muay First Fight provides an in-depth look into the world of Muay Thai and the dedication, hard work, and sacrifice that it takes to compete at the professional level. To capture the essence of this world, I utilized an array of professional lenses and equipment, including the Canon EF 300mm f/2.8 ISL USM, Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM, Canon EF 11-24mm f/4L USM, and EF 135mm f/2L USM Lenses, along with the DeSisti Super Leonardo Lighting system.

As the technical director, I oversaw the post-production process using software such as Avid® Media Composer, Adobe Premiere Pro CC, Adobe After Effects CC, and Blackmagic Design DaVinci Resolve. With a total of 15 hours of full-frame (35mm) footage at 1080p (1920 × 1080 progressive scan), I was able to craft a seamless and engaging documentary that truly captures the spirit of Muay Thai.

Overall, Muay First Fight is a stunning documentary that showcases the beauty, athleticism, and dedication of Muay Thai fighters. It was an honor to serve as the technical director and cinematographer for this project, and I am proud of the final product that we were able to create at Stony Studio.

I spent over two years traveling through some of the most extreme and isolated nations on earth to produce 7 Rules In North Korea Meant To Be Broken, a book showcasing my experiences in North Korea and the Middle East, as well as 50 other isolated countries. I was equipped with some of the best Canon photography equipment and used my skills as a photographer and writer to capture a world that is seen by few on the inside.

In order to create this book, I spent many months visiting North Korea, entering from Beijing, China. Through my lens, I sought to reveal the realities of life in North Korea, a country plagued by racism, ill-served by its politicians, and isolated from the rapidly expanding western culture outside its borders. I discovered areas of beauty in the simple, overlooked corners of North Korean life, and used my photography and writing to provide a powerful and provocative look at some of the world’s most remote locations.

David Maiolo’s 7 Rules In North Korea Meant To Be Broken redefined the icons of North Korea in just 35 pages. My seemingly intuitive, immediate, off-kilter style, along with my method of brilliantly linking my photographs together thematically, conceptually, formally, and linguistically, made this book unique. More of an ode or a poem than a literal document, the book is a testament to the power of photography and the importance of exploring the world’s most remote locations.

travelor: Women and World (January 2016, Issue 2)

In January 2016, I had the opportunity to dedicate an entire edition of my small online travel magazine, “travelor,” to a women’s rights initiative that I had been focusing on for nine months. The result was the second issue of the magazine, entitled “Women and World.”

Throughout my travels, I had observed the various cultural and beauty standards that women face in different areas of the world. I was struck by the stark differences in what is considered “beautiful” or “acceptable” for women in different cultures, and I wanted to bring attention to this issue through my work.

The magazine features articles that explore the challenges women face, as well as their triumphs and successes in different cultures. Each article is written with a light tone, incorporating photography and travel tips throughout. It is my hope that “Women and World” will not only entertain and educate readers, but also inspire them to become advocates for women’s rights around the globe.

Through my work at Stony Studio, I am able to use my passion for travel and photography to shed light on important issues and make a positive impact in the world.

travelor: Getting Inside North Korea (November 2015, Issue 1)

For over two years, I immersed myself in the stories and culture of North Korea to produce the first issue of travelor magazine. Titled “Getting Inside North Korea”, this issue offers an unprecedented glimpse into the hermit kingdom, highlighting its unique and often baffling customs and practices.

To produce this issue, I spent months in North Korea, gaining firsthand experience and insights into its society and people. I entered the country from Beijing, China, and navigated through its strict regulations to bring readers a nuanced and authentic portrayal of this fascinating nation.

Through stunning photography and compelling narratives, “Getting Inside North Korea” uncovers the complexities of life in one of the world’s most enigmatic and closed-off societies. The issue also includes insider tips and advice for those who may be considering their own visit to this intriguing destination.

As a travel magazine, travelor offers a fresh and insightful perspective on the world’s diverse cultures and experiences. “Getting Inside North Korea” is a testament to our commitment to uncovering the hidden and often surprising aspects of the world around us.
