“You might be a photographer if: Your eyesight from staring at the computer has gone from F11 to F1.8.”
What is your favorite team setup? Do you like the hype of the crowd or are you more inclined towards intimate photo session ?
We asked 4 professional photographers about their personal preferences and reasons behind it.
The full interview is available of YOUTUBE. For your convenience, here is the transcript of it as well.
Ace Style @ace_style: I prefer working with a small crew, mainly because I do a lot of natural light photography, which doesn’t require a large crew. I prefer to get very close with the model, with the subject I’m working with. It has a very special connection and is just more relaxed.
Paul Roustan @roustan : With my work, I’m often hired to paint on set, and so a lot of times I’ve been around huge crews; but with my own work, with my own conceptual studio work, it’s usually just me. I don’t use big studio lights. I usually use manmade lights or small flashes, if not just natural light. But I usually just like me and the model, just the two of us, though sometimes I’ll have a third photographer on set documenting the process.
Mila Zvereva @mila_zvereva : I’m comfortable working with any size crews, but it’s always dictated by the nature of the shoot. If the setting is more intimate, I might go as far as stay one-on-one with the model.
Bekah Wriedt @bekahwriedt : I tend to work with small crews, just because I love the intimacy and the relationships that come from the small team.
