Scott Strazzante: Shooting from the Hip

I 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.

Shooting from the Hip

Each year, the amount of news I cover varies wildly. Some years, I happen to be in the right place at the right time while other years, I barely sniff any news assignements for months on end.

Scott Strazzante:

New York is an amazing place for street photography, but I still failed much more often than I was successful.

I guess that’s up for debate.
