nice
nowadays during this digital era almost
everybody has a mobile phone every food
that we have that’s a camera
technically nowadays everybody can take
pictures people start to think that
taking pictures is easy which is you
know I don’t blame them that’s what I
thought last time but that was since now
everybody you can take pictures you see
the position of photographers is slowly
everybody can be a photographer that
happens even for me now when client come
to me and ask me if I want you to take
some photos for me and how much you
charge when I sit okay for me to take
photos for you
this is what I judged then the client
would say you know in what so expensive
you only take pictures after after Elena
discreetly be shattered that’s nothing
much to do
why so expensive will you judge me like
that
so since everybody thinks that you know
taking pictures is easy let me tell you
with one thing we photographers we don’t
take just for example this photo
you know this one off I showed this
photo to my students everything was like
wow you managed to get the bull’s eye
you know the ball in the center you
can’t simply go to the mismatch and
shouldn’t get this photo
you can’t endure it involves positioning
understanding the game what lens do you
what use you have to understand the
signal from the place you know tennis
players actually you know they give us a
photograph
signals you know so you need to
understand it then once you understand
them then we can manage to get this kind
of it around
where do they go wrong okay
[Music]
simple still the goth bitches
everybody can go to a golf course stand
wherever they were take pictures of
players teeing off but for me you know
when I grew up with my assignments I
always have pictures in my mind first
you know and I go that I started to
harmful it’s just that I want I could
simply just take whatever you know I see
and then when I go back I choose no
that’s not my style so for me it up when
I saw when I saw the the logo at the
back there and I said to myself that I
want one bleeding to sum up my limited
the logo I carefully position myself
sooner I can get the shots that I want
and try to preserve the most information
then another background has for example
if you see the inner eye things
on the background it says it happen
unless you 2005 now there is a solo
question there you know with the
roughest trying to return to the reverse
this are the photos of the riot police
during a protest during a protest
emotions are high clashes between
protesters and the police and a kill has
been fired
nowadays a devious not like the old days
you know it bring tears to your eyes
no now it is when tears hits you it
chose you and you know all the sudden
your body go down then you can do
anything you just simply sit quietly
waiting for the police to pick you up
one by one as a photographer you can’t
just be going
disparages you have to get suck it you
have to have plans on what you want so
this is what with the ruckus – we do
take photos we go out we make them let
me tell you my experience of me becoming
a photographer I started falling in love
with her a few that the age of nine that
was the first time thinking than ever
these are that easy at a time you finish
the board
sent it to the show that a few days
later you get pictus in an elbow a
simplest day when I was then
one of my uncle’s he gives me a
temporary knowing that you know I’m so
crazy about therapy but the problem is
for me I come from a working-class
family we are not rich so my parents can
only give me five we get that I get a
week for me to survive at the bottom
school but luckily enough but excluded
from my unions and everything but we
still need money to buy things so what I
did was like enough with my mom gave me
a fight wicked I invested they fight
again I bought a row of adapt and cost
around 350 and stuff to show my
classmates in groups no signal for
talking all groups so when they
interested to buy a banner they make
money from the radiation of the team I
knew then you know this is the
profession that I want okay the finishes
here I wanted to go into art school yeah
Italy for for me I
prepared for death you know step by step
at the edge of the field when I decided
that I want to be a photographer during
forum for a big-ass tree not the sack
speed you know mastery everybody knows
we are the cool people will be hard we
study less something we go study
actually the best thing about upstream
you don’t have equity you don’t have
chemistry you’ll have busy I got myself
into
at school I studied photography okay the
first semester the first class you know
you got your subjects okay basic
photography and the other subject is
history of therapy not bad and I’m
studying for the roughly obviously you
know I have to know the history then
science then match okay then chemistry
fizzy I was like what’s happening when
is this event school oh I got school now
I actually have to study there fizzy you
actually know you have to complete
you know how fast and how strong lights
travel and then you have to study
chemistry to know the chemical direction
when the light hits and the the club and
every day
that one misses just for you to
understand how the equipment works so
okay now I understand how the increment
works then how to make photographic and
you have to study the composition you
have to study the route of the therapy
then we can start making a distance
[Music]
okay I think I better assist your system
okay now we started to make it good
photos okay this has a shot what you
know that the mechanic is and we can
deficits right okay okay now you can
make pretty decent whatever then after
that what you have to make your
photograph speaks as you know I’m in
front of you and got much of a steep
hill we photographers we don’t talk much
with our photos to the talking so that’s
where the parties to make your photos I
grew up I be photographed I don’t really
like to read if I like to read mine I
swear by income no LM not a parable but
you have to ring you have to read
politics you have to reach spot you have
to read answer
sociology just to be one good photograph

kind of photograph that we photographers
me now we know what to do in the first
place it’s not like simply you gotta
show there are so many things that

short period of time hopefully next time
when you see a photographer on

photographer is not taking pictures he
is making pictures
