Here - There: Why Telling A Story Is Still Important

10/19/2018

0 Comments

 
I've never heard of LCD Soundsystem before I saw this video and despite being a pretty good song I was really blown away at the story being told. Why is this important? Story telling is missing in a lot of our photography and videos today. For me, I don't see it a lot. Why? Because I think it's not easy to do. When I do see a great story, whether in a single image or a video, it stops me and makes me think and feel. It's hard to explain but you probably know what I mean. In the music video, oh baby, I feel like I just watched a full blown movie with a beginning and an end and it leaves me wanting more.

Telling a story is easier said than done. I try to apply this in my own work Country Lady, The Prospector, Surfing Santas.

Using a little imagination, thinking about your shot a little more, what do you want to portray/project. What is the story you are trying to tell? How do you want people to think/feel about your work? Try to find elements other than just taking a snapshot makes for interesting imagery and you will make people feel and think too.

We visited and photographed the Florida Everglades and Big Cyprus swamp just days before the huge BP oil disaster in the Gulf. The Everglades is one of the most exciting places I have ever visited. There was tons of wildlife and a lot of unique looking landscapes.

This place is a must visit and it's worthy of numerous trips in the future. Our time was limited, we tried to see and do as much as we could. For our first trip out there I think we chose some really good spots.
If you care to share your favorite places, post them below.

Equipment I used was:
Nikon D700
Mostly 70-200mm Nikkor lens w/1.4x multiplier. (you could definitely use bigger lenses here)
28-70 Nikkor lens
Gitzo Carbon Fiber Tripod

Shot this during my lunch hour. Set the gopro camera directly on the ground pointing it at the mid day sun. I'm very surprised at how well this camera handles bright mid day sun. Shot at 1080p60 slapped down in a 720p24 timeline.
