Assignment 208: Location Photography: Theme 1 Research - Steve Pyke MIND THE GAP - Steve Pyke

This video captures Steve Pyke talking about shooting using a Rollieflex camera - how it changes the relationship between you and the model.

I interested in his view of how much more intimate he felt this style of camera made the taking of a persons portrait.

He also talks about his work of capturing images of philosophers - how out of an hour's sitting only ten minutes it take up with photography - the rest is about building the rapport, relaxing the model and capturing a moment of compassion.

All of his portraits are naturally lit and his looking to capture a spontaneous moment created between him and the sitter.
