He will capture key milestones of their lives with five portraits – milestones that will show how far both the individual and city have come. These local icons include Sean Xu (Taipei), Stephen Fung (Hong Kong), and Brillante Mendoza (Philippines).

“Essentially, the icon has to have a very strong bonding with that city. That being a very significant part of their life, their success, definitely from their past and into the future as well,” said Chris Humphrey, Executive Producer of AETN All Asia Networks.

“I think the importance of a location is really on this people. My job is to understand why and then try to show that in a photograph and be respectful of it and really bring that out in the image,” said Woodward, at the series’ press launch.

Around The World with Voyager premiered on HISTORY Asia since 26 November, 2012.
