embracing the cliche – Shooting from the Hip
embracing the cliche
At my day job, I need my work to appeal to a wide range of photographic IQs. But, with my street work, I guess I am aiming to please the photo literate and when, I make an image that is too popular, in a weird way, I don’t feel as good as when I make an image that only photographers like.

When Photos Lie: Sticking Up for Jalen Brunson
Link: When Photos Lie: Sticking Up for Jalen Brunson – Shooting from the HipI felt the image could be misconstrued, so, I decided that it would be reckless of me to transmit the photo and take a chance that someone who didn’t see the play unfold would think that Jalen Brunson was flipping off the crowd or officials. A photographer from the Peoria newspaper decided to send his version of the image and it was published online with the caption- “Jalen Brunson of Lincolnshire Stevenson makes a gesture to the Chicago Whitney Young crowd.” The Twitter-verse exploded. Brunson’s historic game was now just a side show to an online circus.

A conversation with Scott Strazzante about Common Ground
Link: A conversation with Scott Strazzante about Common Ground | dvafotoThe vast majority of my successful diptychs have come about when I just shoot without looking to match farm photos. Only two of the pairings were planned before hand. One was the aerial comparison and the other was shooting out of a second floor bedroom window in the Grabenhofer home to match a photo I had from the second floor of the Cagwin farmhouse. The rest happen when something I shoot on Cinnamon Court reminds me of a farm photo or I make an image that I really like and I pore through my farm negs looking for a match. I don’t really put much thought into the project as a whole when I am shooting at the subdivision. I photograph there like I do when I shoot any other assignment.

Scott Strazzante: Shooting from the Hip
Link: Scott Strazzante: Shooting from the Hip | NPPAI no longer seek perfection; in fact, I embrace the flaws in mine and others’ photography. I seek out subtle images that allow me to linger and discover small surprises as I soak in an image’s content. However, as a daily newspaper photographer, I can’t get too caught up in my “art.” I strive to make images that are unique and creative but also accessible to all who view them.
