There’s something thrilling about being able to take awesome pictures. It’s a chance to be creative in a very different way then with video. Sometimes, and in my favourite kind of films, each frame is a masterpiece. If you can stop a movie at any point and it looks like an amazing photo, that’s magic. It’s also highly unlikely. As much as the cinematographer will try to create beautiful imagery, the story should be more important. With photography the picture is the only thing telling the story, and attention to detail is a must.
As a first attempt I grabbed two friends and went to a rundown area of the city. We had no real plan, but sometimes the best art happens by accident. I took all the photos below and my friends took the ones of me. Together, I reckon we made an awesome crew. Sharing ideas of what would make a great shot and making it happen.
I think we captured the beauty of the old and broken, along with some cool poses. What do you think?
Look out for more photography as we continue to experiment with this fantastic art form.
