About

Tobie Openshaw is a South African-born DOP/producer/editor/photographer who has been working in video and photography for over 16 years.
He has filmed and traveled from desert to city to jungle, in Africa, Europe, the US, Australia and Asia.
He currently lives in Taiwan where he often shoots for National Geographic and Discovery Channels.

He has a day job working for Corel’s video- and image-editing software division, while continuing to do personal video and photo projects.

Tobie has collaborated with fellow Lightstalker Kloie Picot on several projects ranging from Tsunami relief to the Middle East conflict. Their documentary film “Shots that Bind – Palestinian Photojournalists in Nablus” won Best Cinematography award in the Documentary section of the New York Independent Film And Video Festival.
Tobie’s documentary proposal for “Chew on This – Betelnut Culture in Taiwan” was twice shortlisted in the National Geographic “Taiwan to the World” projects.

In 2007 he held several successful exhibitions of his work on the betelnut girls of Taiwan, to intense media interest. He is currently working on a book on the subject, and hopes to complete the film at the same time.
