Capture episode 3-4

Matthew Modine and Martin Schoeller join Mark Seliger this the third episode. I liked how Matthew first started by using a Rolleiflex camera, he says his approach to photography was simplicity. He said that the less you have in a shot mean the more possibilities you have to create something with the camera. He likes to create an illusion with the camera and using the camera as the most important thing.

Martin Schoeller seems to focus on the weird and wonderful things in life for example female body builders and twins. Personally I really like his style of photography i think it is intriguing and bring the audience into the work. I like what he said about working with celebrities, "sometimes you have to wait till the publisher leaves to present your best idea." I like how this shows another side to a celebrity how they are more likely want to do what the photographer wants but it's someone else that is reluctant.

In the other episode Kevin Bacon and Bob green are on set. In common with the other episode they all like to focus on people and the way they effect the camera. I liked what Kevin Bacon did with the people that wanted to take his photo creating a shoot back series and projecting the same feeling of invasion onto the public in the sam way they did to him. I like how he has turned his fame and annoyance of the public into a body of work.

I thought it was interesting what Bob said about how we would dress according to what band he was photographing to blend into the background more and help to get into the zone of what he was photographing.
