New work for String Theory and Hyundai New Zealand
Four days. Closed highways. Every tool in the kit.

When Bryan Iguchi lands in New Zealand for a one-day heli shoot, the snow gods listen. Chris Maunsell & Vaughan Brookfield captured an all-time day on the Clarks Glacier shooting motion & stills of the 2026 Iguchi Range for Volcom. Blower powder, bluebird conditions, and the kind of terrain that makes New Zealand one of the best snowboard filming destinations in the world.
