Book Announcement: Waiting For the Sun to Come Down

Understanding Off-Camera Flash

    My mom lived on the base around 1945 when she was 9 yrs old because her dad (my grandfather) was stationed on the base. Her mom (my grandmother) had a part-time job working in the commissary. My mom remembers German POWs setting up the furniture when they moved into base housing. She made friends with a little anglo girl who was also living on the base with her parents, and my grandmother taught the little girl's mother how to make tortillas. The base is gone, but I'd like to think that all the people that trained there went on to do good things throughout their life.

    Amazing photography. Love the idea of the interplay between the car and shadow. Can you expand on why the borders of the pics are so large? Why have a large book if the pictures are half the size of the page? I have many coffee table type car books and always like looking at the large pictures. We are so used to looking at tiny pics on our phones. Big photography books are different. The large photos are a major part of what make coffee table books so impactful.

    • @capturingthemachine
      @capturingthemachine 6 днів тому

      thank you! Thats a great q - the layout/margins might adjust slightly before print, but with a square format, and the mix of images being portrait and landscape (and not cropping them), you try to find a balance so that the left side and right side of the spread are balanced. And that informs the margins, and then it has to also be consistent throughout, for lots of different image ratios. The overall image sequence over the course of the book is more important to me than singling out balanced pairs and matching them per spread.

    I got my first media accreditation at the 2023 Le Mans 24 Hour race, I was 17. I completely agree with you. But I think as young photographers, we shouldn't see accreditations like THE achievement of our career... It takes nothing from a race organiser to give you a media pass. I really think the thing we should focus on is how to sell pictures, this is an achievement to me.
