What amazes me is that you can have 10 different photographers in the same room, and you see 10 different rooms. You realize how much of it is the person's perspective rather than the situation itself.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think a lot of times, especially for certain stories, photographers travel together for safety reasons, and they also invariably cross paths. But you could have 10 photographers shooting together in the same spot but capturing different images.
Photography is a small voice, at best, but sometimes one photograph, or a group of them, can lure our sense of awareness.
All these directors who do different locations forget that one room can be shot from a million different angles and a million different ways. When I direct a movie, I'm going to use that.
In the world of photography, you get to share a captured moment with other people.
I am impressed with what happens when someone stays in the same place and you took the same picture over and over and it would be different, every single frame.
There's a discipline. When you take someone's portrait, you don't have to take 50 photographs, just find that one so that when you release the shutter, that's the image that you took.
I've been a photographer all these years... I haven't been in my own darkroom for 10 years.
Photography is pretty simple stuff. You just react to what you see, and take many, many pictures.
If you shoot with a billion cameras, then there's no perspective. You want to use one shot at a time, so it's better to discover what that is before you shoot, rather than trying to make something in the cutting room, and then it just becomes generic.
There are always two people in every picture: the photographer and the viewer.
