Brian Carlin, director of photography and photographer

Director of photography and photographer. Co-founder of 16 Degrees South.

For more than fifteen years I have worked behind the camera in extreme sport and adventure. From the deck of ocean racing yachts to the start line of a rally and the far end of an expedition. My work has aired on Sky, Discovery, and Amazon Prime Video, and appeared on magazine covers around the world.

In the 2014-15 Volvo Ocean Race I sailed as the onboard reporter on Team Vestas Wind. When the boat grounded on the Cargados Carajos Shoals, sixteen degrees south of the equator, I documented the wreck and the crew getting off the boat from on board. That footage has been the basis for films and broadcasts ever since, and it gave the studio I later co-founded its name.

If the story is somewhere, that is where I go.
