We visited photographer Christopher Anderson to talk about his work and his life-changing experience aboard a Haitian refugee boat that sank in the Caribbean. We then followed him as he hit the streets to photograph New York City.

@Sam081590 7 жыл бұрын

So inspired! Everyone when they go into street/editorial photography, they focus too much on composition rather than just getting the shot. Chris Anderson has shown that perhaps what makes a photograph is just being a part of the moment, and simply focussing on capturing it and all the emotions that come along with it.

Dear @@KGeorge-1 that intro is UNBELIEVABLE BAD! But I'm sure your little brain can't even understand that if somebody comments on it, at least there is a small chance that the editor won't do it again! Or anyway the editor would understand that it's a VERY BAD edited intro and think about it and so Erfahn is doing two things: giving value and feedback. And because we are talking about art here and editing is a form of art, the comment about the ANNOYING intro is ABSOLUTELY ON POINT ! GET A LIFE !

His passion for photography is very infectious. I sometimes have the privilege of traveling for my job and I always take my camera with me. The last trip was to a small town north of Branson, Missouri where I spent the better part of a chilly Saturday afternoon wandering the streets and taking photographs. I'm sure I looked out of place to the local townspeople, but I found it exciting to experience and document a new place.
