I learned some knowledge by reading his interview. A reporter asked he why he ran to the seemingly mundane, such as ebden Bridge in the beginning of his career in 70 s. Most western photographers choose to adventure in Africa and far east. The reporter asked him whether he convice that he can take good photos in there. He said that could get good stuff is just a wish. But when you concentrate on one thing at a long time enough, you can get a promotion. He completed the motivation of work in the past by a strong desire which can be close to a small group and know about them. After hearing what he said, I understand that if I want to shoot good pictures, I need to spend enough time to stop in a place.
Below is a serious of photos he created.It was the challenges of earth's gravity. These photos are totally without ps, he thought that nothing can be false. He elaborates these works of surreal with his team.In fact,they use a lot of tools for standing in these photos.When I see these photos, I always want to find out why. I need to learn his creative thinking, and how to took the creative and attractive pictures.I should look for different ways of photography.
I want to learn his absolutely calm when he was taking pictures. Because he is a war photographer, he often make some very cruel and bitter scenes. For example,he often capture pictures like bereaved body was carried away in the scene and their family was crying. His restraint made him look like an ascetic, but his anger, frustration, sadness and doubt are pouring in his photos. He said in his many years of being a war photographer, he thought the most important thing he learn is how to deal with anger. We should put the anger into a energy of clear view, rather than cover our view.
