Photo by Arthur Pollock<\/a><\/p>\n I got a few messages about, “How do you get THE shot?” I believe this is what the life long study of photography is all about. We tried to answer that HERE<\/a> and HERE<\/a> and HERE<\/a> and come to think of it, the entire existence of this blog and our photo zine is the exploration of this question. <\/p>\n A couple variants also came in, “How do you get into these certain situations?” and “How do you get these portraits?” The questions weren’t directed towards me, they are referring to the photos we publish. <\/p>\n I think, my opinion, that you are shooting 1 of 2 things. That is your story OR someone else’s story. It is up to you how detailed you want to tell that story. Some of the most detailed descriptive stories you see in Life Magazine or National Geographic or New York Times took months or years to photograph. <\/p>\n But how? For your story, I say shoot everything. Edit later. Figure out what it is you are trying to say. Even though it is fake as fuck, you could argue that the Kardashians are simply just master story tellers. Something in their story, not sure what, resonates with millions of people. <\/p>\n On the other side, in journalism they call your contact person the “fixer”. So find a story and find the person that will fix you up deep into that story. Figure out where the story begins and where it ends and shoot it. <\/p>\n How do you get the portrait? Ask politely. Or don’t. Either way, shoot and move on. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Photo by Arthur Pollock I got a few messages about, “How do you get THE shot?” I believe this is what the life long study of photography is all about.
