Matthew Buick Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 (edited) If you had to net yourself a photo/cinematographical job on the basis of ONE photo, or frame grab which one would it be? In essence, which photo/grab speaks most about you as a photographer/cinematographer? I can't personally decide at the moment, so I'll let you people kick this off.

Matthew Buick Posted January 20, 2009 Author Share Posted January 20, 2009 Actually, I think this one speaks most about me as a photographer. It's called Copper Man. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Patrick OHara Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 http://ryanpatrickohara.com/images/Picture%2028.png Not because it's my favorite, or it's my best. It's pretty much a standard professional looking MCU. But it was this shot that really made me realize (I was in film school) that I could do this for the rest of my life and well, as long as I continued to learn and try very hard.

Daniel Smith Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Liking both them shots. First has good perspective and framing, the second has some seriously nice lighting and composition. Well, this has probably been shown to death by now... it's not my favourite but it's my most popular. http://ashleysmithd.deviantart.com/art/The-Hours-64761214 Not sure I can link it to my own photographic personality is any way.. I'm generally a fan of naturalistic stuff (Roger Deakins work etc.) Processed stuff like my shot just bores me now. Anyone can get a cheap SLR take and merge several shots and make it look like something super expensive. It's just eye candy. But this is the shot I'd show someone if I wanted to score a job.

Premium Member Chris Keth Posted January 21, 2009 Premium Member Share Posted January 21, 2009 I don't know that I would be comfortable selling myself with one still image. Our medium is motion picture photography, not still photography. They are related but have some pretty large differences. This is a still I like a lot, though, and demonstrates some of the things I like to incorporate into my work: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saul Rodgar Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 (edited) This is one of my fave shots of late. It is a jib arm sequence and this shot represents only one moment in time of the actual sequence. But I think it speaks of what I am doing now and I would consider using it as the one motion sequence would sell my skills. Since we are cinematographers, to ask for one single shot to represent each of us is kind of defeating the point though.

BTW, Chris and Saul, neither of your photos are showing, there's just a large red cross in their places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saul Rodgar Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Hmm, that is odd. http://www.flickr.com/photos/10352165@N07/...57611422203297/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Buick Posted January 21, 2009 Author Share Posted January 21, 2009 It is odd. Especially as it's completely fine now, which reminds me, great photos from you all! I couldn't possibly pick a favourite, but my picture pales into insignificance in comparison. Best wishes to you all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danish Puthan Valiyandi Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 (edited) Great photos! Really like them. Actually, to take this photo I tried to approach as it was a movie shot. Gelled flashes through windows and a flash built in the torch bouncing off a white card for fill. The flare was made through post of course ... I really like to include lamps and lighting in a scence. There's a making of video on the flickr site btw.

I did something similar, though it's a bit more stylized. Here's a test still with a stand-in: Edited January 24, 2009 by Chris Keth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XiaoSu Han Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 still, this I think: that's a scene from a musicvideo, leica m6 and 35m f1.2, we captured this with a motion camera as well, so it counts as a still, right? :) photo, maybe this shot on rolleiflex 2.8f Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
