Seeing Through the Noise: Visual Storytelling with Hollywood Still Photographer and Sony Ambassador Hopper Stone
The Woodlands Summer Expo Keynote: June 18th 6PM
Seeing Through the Noise - Live with Hopper Stone
Film sets can be chaotic places, bustling with heavy gear and dozens, if not hundreds, of cast and crew. In the midst of all of that, there is a lone still photographer whose job is both document the process of the filmmaking and create images which help market and advertise the project; all while staying out of the way. Hopper’s class/lecture will take you through the thought processes which allow him to distill all of the madness into a single image which tells a story (and help you incorporate his techniques into your every day photography).
