National Geographic: The Photographers

5 Techniques Learned to Become a Better Photographer:

• Put yourself in each situation
• Be patient to get the right shot
• The subject is in control, you just capture the moment
• Motion adds an extra element
• Connect with your subject

My favorite photographer is Jim Stanfield. I like him the best because he does alot of portrait shots.

My favorite photograph was the one of the child in the Vietnamese refugee camp. I really like this photo because it is simple but shows alot of emotion at the same time.

The video did reinforce things we learned in class. Motion was used in many of the photographs. Another example is utilizing a simple shot, such as the photo of the baseball player.
