James’ take on Burri’s work
James on Burri’s influence:
During this project I learned that it adds more to your photos when you get physically close instead of depending on a zoom lens. I also learned it’s not wrong to break the “rules” after a while, you have to “kill your mentor” to grow as a photographer. Taking candid photos is not always the right way to go, sometimes people will tell their own story when they know you’re there instead of getting a picture of them looking upset or spaced out, they may be a happy person. I learned that you don’t take pictures, you make them, and that you need to find pictures no one’s thinking about. Visualizing your pictures before you take them is helpful, as well as looking at the composition rather than the subject.
