I feel kind of ashamed that I've followed the bad photography thread more than this one. Gonna go through my flickr contacts/photography folder and contribute to this in the morning.

  http://www.pieterhugo.com/the-hyena-other-men/ Holy crap this series is cool. The photos are really engaging to me and his write up of the story behind them is just as good. I really envy photographers who can also write. This inspired me to work on my own writing.

RangerScum posted:"Yo, look at this loving monkey. Please buy my medicine now." It's interesting that the essay says people contacted the photographer in order to learn more about how the handlers stayed safe or about how the animals were treated, but never about why the hell they had to handle hyenas just to make a living in the first place.

quote:At one stage the monkey was terrified by his driving. It grabbed hold of my leg and stared into my eyes. I could see its fear. Amazing, I've felt this way in foreign places with taxi drivers before, and my dad and even Chinese suppliers assure me it's ridiculous in China, I can't imagine what a Nigerian with a motley crew of animals would be like...especially when the monkey is scared.

You'd have to make multiple attempts and be a monkey to not make an awesome photo out of that subject. I'm pretty sure only HDR could well and truly ruin it.

Thats an awesome shot! I had to look up Horizon 202...and...well I want one.xzzy posted:You'd have to make multiple attempts and be a monkey to not make an awesome photo out of that subject. Probably right, but I feel like the picture would be vastly different from another angle, not sure whether it'd be better or not, just different. One I just saw that I really like, and I'm not sure why exactly;  By Dan Winters and I found out about it from this interview, maybe the interview/process discussion (He built that set specifically for that shot) is what makes me like it a lot; LINK

After seeing Restrepo last year I took an interest in Tim Hetherington, a celebrated war photographer, who co-directed the movie with Sebastian Junger. He was killed yesterday in Libya along with Chris Hondros. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-13151490 His book Infidel which contains images from when he was in Afghanistan is amazing. http://www.timhetherington.com/

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-12618167 Quite amazing - an introspection from photographer Timothy Allen on a year and a half long assignment he had with the BBC. I found his last comment to be particularly true - that we can nitpick and poke holes in any photo but the overall impact is what truly matters.

It took me a year and a half to save up and pull the trigger on my 5DII, I babied the hell out of that thing for the longest time. It was only after a very wet/muddy shoot that I realized the build quality was there for a reason. It took a little while to clean off but it's good as new. Now I'm a lot more adventurous with it. I just make sure the lenses I take are weathersealed. I have a very weird fear of getting mud stuck in the viewfinder though.

There was one photographer commentary on Libya I was listening to where they actually took his camera from him somehow, and he ended up buying a rebel with a kit lens from a local mall and continued covering what he could. I can't find the link right now, but it was pretty intense.

I can't find the link right now, but it was pretty intense. I had to check this out cause it sounds awesome, and just goes to prove that the equipment most definitely doesn't make the photography. I can't find an article, but there's a video report here; http://vimeo.com/21372525 It was John Moore and he was assigned to cover the revolutions in Egypt, Bahrain and Libya, but when he got to Bahrain he went through immigration to get his visa but then customs seized all his equipment, cameras and laptops. So the first place he went was a shopping mall to buy some cheap camera gear, A Canon Rebel body a cheap lens and a new laptop, and that was what he used for the whole assignment. Though at the end of his stay there he got his gear back, but only in time for his assignment in Libya. The video is just a slideshow of, what I assume are, his images. The commentary is great too.

I have an incredible amount of respect for photojournalists/ documentary photographers that cover their assigned stories without their ~*~*~*~*~gear~*~*~*~. My mentor is a Magnum photographer, and while going over some edits the other day he told me about a time when he had to cover a story about a certain club that catered to the Russian mob in New York. (Im pretty sure it was in New York.) He went in with an Olympus point and shoot with a flash attachment and posed as a tourist while photographing a bunch of Russian mobsters. The camera might have been an XA2, I can find out though.

Legit photojournalism is loving badass. It's a real shame the newspaper industry is where it is right now, because staff photojournalist positions have been some of the hardest hit in recent years. Our local daily's staff is down 50% from where it was just 5-10 years ago. That means everybody is forced to rush through multiple assignments just to get them done, whereas with a beefier staff, somebody might be able to spend a full day or multiple days really sinking their teeth into a good story and producing some quality work. So staff cuts lead to shoddier work which lead to more difficulty justifying the staff which leads to  Also: poo poo photjournalists like: international travel "Because any rear end in a top hat can make a photo in his neighborhood. It takes a professional rear end in a top hat to make a photo 4,000 miles away."

RizieN posted:One I just saw that I really like, and I'm not sure why exactly; I think part of it is he always builds those sets with weird perspectives. Like it looks correct from the camera, but that room is not squared off like a normal one would be. I think it reads as correct, but our brain somewhere knows it's not real which makes you stop and look at it a little more closely. I bought the "Juke Joints" book he mentions in that interview as an inspiration for those sets, and it's all pictures of these falling down buildings with weird sloping ceilings and leaning walls. The guy who shot it tried to correct it with the view camera and a lot of them have the same feel as Dan Winters stuff.

Credentials are supposed to be assigned to media organizations, but for less than top-level events, depending on the sport and the venue, sometimes folks can finagle freelance passes.
