Stories

When I shoot stories, I specifically don’t make a plan. It’s liberating. The process is the vision.

I use Matt Stuart’s Three Fs of Street Photography:

  • Fishing Frame an interesting background and wait
  • Follow something interesting, and wait
  • Fuck! Be ready… and wait

It’s concepting, in real time, with moving targets. No second chances, just a first crack at something new.
