HIGHLIGHTS

▶  “It’s just a misunderstanding that many photographers have; when they hear show up at sunrise, they’re not thinking about what shows up before sunrise and having a tripod ready and everything set to go.”

▶  “When you’re shooting, like in a crowded church or in a very famous scene, what we’re doing to take them out is a lot of shooting over the tourists. Just shoot right above the tourists, right above their heads. It makes a more interesting photo if you don’t want to remove people.”
