DiKe Su - Nature Photography

DiKe Su has been in awe of Mother Nature’s beauty (and fury) since he was in junior high school, shooting videos of storms and sharing them with his followers online. Now a sophomore at Communication University of China, he’s studying photography to turn his passion into a full-fledged career as a climate documentarian.

As a videographer specializing in weather phenomena, DiKe needs to be ready whenever lightning strikes. He considers MacBook Pro his most reliable partner in the field because of its battery life and robustness of professional software like Final Cut Pro, which allows him to easily edit footage anytime, anywhere.

Like many students, DiKe adjusted to remote learning by making the most of his surroundings. During the summer, he used his iPhone to film a documentary about a flood in his hometown of Chengdu. He quickly shared video clips with his teammates using AirDrop, previewed raw footage on iPad, used Sidecar to work on his MacBook Pro and iPad screens simultaneously, then edited on Final Cut Pro.

“Final Cut Pro on Mac brings a wealth of power in a UI that’s simple enough for students and professionals, helping an aspiring documentarian like me breeze into the professional world.”
