Travels to the edge with Art Wolfe
Often times to make the shot you have to prepare and wait. You have to make a connection with the people you are about to shot. More time can go in organizing the whole process than in actual shooting and postproduction. Its is always great when some photographer reveals parts of this preparation process, too.
Last year , I watched some of Art Wolfe series Travels to the edge.
Recently, I received one of his books as a present, which reminded me of this great guy.
Here is a quote from his site:
Over the course of his 30-year career, photographer Art Wolfe has worked on every continent and in hundreds of locations. his stunning images interpret and record the world's fast-disappearing wildlife, landscapes and native cultures, and are a lasting inspiration to those who seek to preserve them all. Wolfe's photographs are recognized throughout the world for their mastery of color, composition and perspective.He has published a lot of books and won many awards.
Art also likes teaching and he has passion for what he does. Knowing that, you should not be surprised that his TV series: Travels To The Edge with Art Wolfe are a great success. Sometimes, I have hard times deciding which one has done better job: Art Wolfe or his cameraman
The video is just greatly shot. Some very neat tips are also revealed to you as Art shots some of the most beautiful places on Earth. If you like nature, wildlife, you will like this videos. If you are a photographer - you will love them.
I strongly suggest DVDs available on Amazon:
For most of us, it is not possible to travel to distant places, have the right gear for the job and knowledgeable guide that will take us to the perfect spot. However, this should not discourage you. Actually, the Travels To The Edge series inspired me for one personal project: to create album presenting the small municipality where I was born. I suggest you to take some similar project. After all, it is those selfprojects that make us progress.
If you have come out with some interesting idea for project,please, share it with us.
