My name is Chad Nathan and I am a 27-year-old digital nomad with a wild passion for travel, adventure, and storytelling through the lens of a camera. I graduated with a degree of a Bachelor of Commerce in Intrapreneurial Management and an Honours degree in Strategic Brand Management. The knowledge I gained from this helped me launch my business Wild Ginga, which has brought me to over 32 countries across the world. I have been able to immerse myself in many different cultures, helping to bring people together one frame at a time. I have over 26,000 followers on Instagram and 37,000 on Tik Tok and this has led me to learn a few things about the game and the hustle of social media. With over 8 years of experience in photography, videography, and social media, Wild Ginga was brought to life specialising in short, impactful, and captivating content for small screens. While shooting content is a huge part of what I do, editing it is just as important. I pride myself on my meticulous and efficient editing skills that my clients can attest to. Over the last few months I have leveraged my influence on Instagram to help raise over $36,000 for people in need during the Corona Virus pandemic. I did this through partnering with many different non-profits and creating content for them for free in these desperate times. In addition to doing pro bono work, I have also worked with some of the big-name brands such as GoPro, Hendricks Gin, Hisense, Reebok, Ucook and Selina Hotels to name a few.
