Whatever it takes to get the shot - Photographers tale from Memphis
August 24, 2023Whatever it takes to get the shot When I told my father many years ago that I was going into the photography business he insisted I get a suit. Being an attorney all his professional life he could not conceive that a businessman would not wear a suit. Seeing that he would not give in I allowed him to get me a suit so he could feel I was a proper professional. It seemed to make him happy.
As evident from the video, I would have ruined a suit within one job. Flexibility and comfortable clothes are priority over a fashion statement. Not that I’m not like the next guy and want to look good. On this day shooting a plane pulling a banner while attempting to get Graceland in the shot required some extreme camera angles. Oh, the number of times the best angle is awkward and requires being a contortionist.
