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.
