just to get the shot


photographers are a different breed. we're an obsessive and even neurotic bunch, driven by one thing: the desire to get the shot that's in our head. if you meet us one on one we may seem perfectly normal, but when you get us in groups of five or ten, or forty, our true insanity comes out. we have our own language, most of which seems to be dominated by a bunch of numbers and fractions and we are constantly passing around unbelievably expensive pieces of equipment as if we were showing each other baseball cards. one thing that happens quite a bit when we get together is we take more pictures of one another than we do the clients or models, and one of my favorite type of these images is the ones that demonstrate exactly the lengths we will go to just to get the shot. here are some of my recent and all-time favorites.

  1. Great photos! I especially like the one of Tom Leopold - what you photographers will do to get your shot! :) And I can see that your cameras are an extension of your very being. No wonder you are artists!
