Different Perspectives
One of the main ways we can make our imagery really stand out and be impactful, is by capturing moments from different perspectives and angles – showing people views of the world that they don’t normally see in day-to-day life. Here are tips and techniques by our members that specifically talk about this:
This Is How: ‘Crocodile At The Crossroads’ by Alexander Ziegler
A real pleasure to have the fab Germany-based This is Reportage member Alexander Ziegler on the site today, telling us how he got this striking dancefloor capture. As always with our ‘This is How…’ pieces, there are some fantastic tips and insights shared, including exploring the world from different perspectives, embracing light and shadows, imagination, and Alexander’s use of monochrome mode on his cameras….thanks so much, Alex!
This Is How: ‘Ouch!’ by Chris Copeland
A real pleasure to have Belfast-based This is Reportage member Chris Copeland on the site today, taking us behind the scenes of this adorable (and slightly painful-looking!) capture. Really fantastic tips on composition, perspective, and running with the sheer unpredictability of kids (and weddings!)…
This Is How: ‘Shooting In Extreme Low Light And High Temperatures’ by Juan Carlos Calderon
It’s an honour to have Juan Carlos Calderon of Car & Mel Photography on the site today, taking us behind the scenes of this dramatic capture. Juan shares great insights, such as challenges of shooting in extremely low light levels, trying not to get burnt (!), and the importance of shooting things differently…a fantastic read!
This Is How: ‘The Wedding Singers’ by Tobias Löhr
It’s an honour today to welcome the Germany-based TiR member Tobias Löhr to the site, where he takes us behind the scenes of this fantastic image. I just love the composition and storytelling within a single frame here; brilliant image!
This Is How: ‘Raining Confetti’ by Lyndsey Goddard
In the forty-second of our regular series of ‘This Is How…’, the fab Lyndsey Goddard shares her thoughts on how she got this recent Reportage Award. It was incredibly difficult to get an award, with just the top 2% of submissions becoming Reportage Awards in Collection One (Collection Two has a few days left until the deadline, so don’t forget to submit your favourite documentary captures and Stories soon).
