I've played in bands myself, and sat on the floor photographing some of the greatest bands in the world while they rehearse. What's always struck me is how different the sensory, especially auditory, experience is when you're in the middle of the music with the musicians playing off each other around you.
I just love photographing things and putting them together to tell a story.
I'm trying to grow more as a journalist and understand the story I'm photographing in order to communicate it in a better way.
Today, it's almost the outlier if people are not photographing what they ate and then sharing that in real time.
You adapt to who you're photographing.
I don't see the point of photographing trees or rocks because they're there and anyone can photograph them if they're prepared to hang around and wait for the light.
I sort of fall in love with them when I'm photographing them - men and women.
The tools I learned photographing celebrities, now I want to use them to sell ideas.
It was only after a while, after photographing mines and clear-cutting of forests in Maine, that I realized I was looking at the components of photography itself. Photography uses paper made from trees, water, metals, and chemistry. In a way, I was looking at all these things that feed into photography.
You will never go wrong with actually photographing process. It's primitive. Humans love to see the bipedal animal in us finish things. We just like it!
