Hacking Photography - one Picture at a time
When the pandemic and the lockdowns began, each of us found our own ways of staying creative. Alex Zane and his daughter Matilda found joy and pleasure in recreating famous movie scenes, and they are kindly sharing it with the world and with you, dear DIYP readers.
Teaming up with Alex’s friend, photographer Andrew Kelly, the father-daughter duo recreates iconic scenes in Massachusetts while Andrew directs the shoots all the way from Colorado!
I always thought being the stills shooter on a movie set would be such great fun. It probably is, too. But when one hears stories and sees footage of them in action one quickly realises how stressful it is. Under constant pressure to get the shot, it must be perfect every time. Your images are going to sell the entire movie to the general public. You need to not only get the technical side perfect, you need to capture the mood and spirit of the characters, too.
In this two part video interview from AdoramaTV, we peek into the life of world renowned movie stills photographer Aidan Monaghan. It’s interesting to hear how his career evolved from architecture to landscape, then theatre, and how it all helped him get started shooting movies.
