or local photojournalist Christopher Morris, shooting the 2010 Winter Olympicson home turf was a triumphant and well-deserved win in a twenty five year climb up the steep road to a successful career in photography. Two years later, his determination, ambition and passion are taking him across the pond to shoot the London 2012 Games.We caught up with Christopher shortly before he hit the road for his second go at this dream assignment.
When did you first know that you wanted to be a photographer? In University I was going to be a lawyer. I was doing a history poly-sci undergrad degree at Carlton University - the quintessential under-grad degree for law school. I just realized that I hated school, so I quit. I had been interested in photography in high school. Then sports and girls became way more interesting than photography.When I was in university people would ask what did I major in? and I said I majored in beer and I minored in squash. One of the things that I never cease to see the humour in is the fact that I failed math in high school and now there are times, when it comes to the technical aspect of photography, that I have to explain math to people. So I tell them, if I can get this, you can get this, because I have no capacity for math. So my academic career was an inauspicious one to say the least. After I quit school, I went to work in my stepfathers used bookstore. That gave me a little bit of money to pay for film. I had a darkroom in my basement where I would process my own film. My first job in photography was as an assistant. A neighbour of mine had a commercial studio. I worked there for about a year - just long enough to realize I didnt want to be a commercial photographer. Actually, going into it I knew I wanted to be a photojournalist. I saw this movie [Under Fire with Nick Nolte] that depicted a photojournalist and that sort of sealed the deal for me. Who were some of the first photographers that inspired you and are there any photographers whose work you admire now? I look at a ton of photography. Two of the first photographers that I remember were Mary Ellen Mark and Annie Leibovitz. My stepfather used to save photography books for me. Hed save anything that looked remotely interesting. There was this book that profiled Mary Ellen Mark and Annie Leibovitz. I remember being just blown away by their

the the inte r v iew

work - just loving it. And that was long before I knew who Annie Leibovitz was. I had no idea. She wasnt huge then because we are talking, like, 1984 when I would have been looking at that book. Another photographer whose work I loved, and I still love, is Ernst Haas. Just really phenomenal work. Those were some of the early influences. Now, some of the photographers that I think are phenomenal are Dan Winters, Chris Buck, Gregory Heislerthose are some of the photographers working now whose photography I think is fabulous. What was your first assignment as a photojournalist? After I quit working at the studio, I started working freelance - and I use the term loosely. I quit to go work at a local paper. I worked there for free at first. When I was getting paid I was getting $10 per assignment and that included expenses. I was using my darkroom in the basement. That was such a great experience because it was my first experience where the pictures had to come out. I had never, before that, shot under pressure. I had to shoot pictures where, if they didnt turn out, I was screwed. There was someone who needed results and they needed to be good! I tried to go to as many events around the city as I could find. Montreal was having a mayoral race and I went to cover the debate. I met a photographer there - he suggested that I go see the photo editor at Canadian Press because he was known for mentoring young photographers. So I called him up and he said yeah how about we meet Monday morning? That weekend there was also the collegiate football championships and I went to shoot them. There was a photographer from Canadian Press there and I talked to him and he said why dont you come with me, well soup your film and see how it looks because I had told him I was meeting with the photo editor the next morning. We processed my film and I had a picture that he liked so that went out on the wire. That was a great introduction to the photo editor - when he came in the next morning - I already had a picture out on the Canadian Press wire! Thats really what it took. And thats what I dont think some people understand, is how hard you have to work, and how much initiative you have to take.You really cant sit at home and wait for the phone to ring. The only way youre going to get work is if you go out and chase it down, wrestle it to the ground and make it yours. That was a great introduction for me and it showed the editor that I had initiative - that I was going to go out and do things. He was probably the toughest boss Ill ever have but he was fair. I still talk to him and hes probably the only one that ever sat me down and tried to teach me lessons in photography. How did you come to shoot the 2010 Winter Olympics and who were you shooting for? I shot the Vancouver Olympics for Corbis. Ive been a Corbis contributor for about ten or twelve years and before that I was with an agency called SABA Press Photos. I think Id been with SABA for about eight years when Corbis bought out SABA. It was at a time when Corbis and Getty were going around buying up every agency on the planet. SABA was one of the small agencies made up of about fiftyvancouverphotoworkshops.com

five photographers. It got bought up and suddenly I found myself as part of the collective. It was sort of like wed been absorbed by the Borg. Thats the way it felt at the time, but Corbis has been really good for me. I worked for Corbis for the 2010 Olympics and Im going to London for them in a couple of weeks. Id say probably the reason why Ive had such a good experience at Corbis is because Ive dealt with some really good people and right now, one of the best people Ive dealt with is my editor Seth. He

and I are going to be working together in London and I am just over the moon. Im really pumped and excited - I havent shot the summer games before. Working with Seth, my editor, is just going to be fabulous. This may sound ridiculous, and maybe it is, but I would say that it is harder to go to the Olympics as a photographer than it is as an athlete. There are fewer photographers at the Olympics than there are athletes. A lot of photographers that have been there, some of them are on their tenth

or twelfth Olympics. Every Olympic games, probably eighty percent of the athletes are new whereas for photographers, probably seventy percent of them have done it before, so the turnover of photographers that shoot the Olympics is low. It is humbling to be included in that group, because it is a really elite club and sometimes I question whether I should be there. The Olympics is the Olympics for the athletes but it is also the Olympics for the photographers!

Was 2010 your first experience shooting an Olympic games? Yes it was. As a freelancer at Canadian Press and Reuters I was always so jealous of the photographers going off to shoot the Olympics. It was only the best that were chosen to go and to go now is really a privilege. Were you with the same editor in 2010? Yes, but he was in LA, so I was just transmitting >>

The number one thing that affects photographers is access...the correlation between access and the quality of the pictures is a straight line
pictures directly to him. In London hell probably be at half the venues Im at, so Ill just hand him cards and that will give me the opportunity to shoot more. Im hoping to do the same thing that I did in Vancouver, which is to shoot two events a day. Its grueling. I think the most sleep I got during the Olympics was five hours a night. On more than one occasion I got just two hours of sleep. Id finish transmitting pictures at two am and then Id have to get up at four to get the position I wanted at the venue. Getting through security with bags of gear is always a hassle - you just have to resign yourself to the fact that its just a part of the Olympics. Unfortunately, its the world we live in now. I spend more time getting through security and waiting for an event to start than I do shooting. Shooting time per day is maybe three or four hours and then the other fourteen hours is getting to and from venues, through security, downloading cards, editing, processing, FTPing themthats the vast majority of it. The proportion of shooting to other stuff is the same in all of photography. Whether its talking to clients, billing clients, doing paper work, filling out insurance forms, permits...its all the same. The photography is the fun part and its all the other stuff before and after that makes the photography possible. Do you choose the events that you shoot at the Olympics? That is something that Seth and I will discuss, but the criteria is: what will make great pictures? Im already thinking of ideas. I already have an idea - if I can make it work - the logistics of this are horrific, but I would love to shoot a picture at Wimbledon centrecourt with a perspective control [tiltshift] lens just focused on the base line, and that needs to be fired with a remote camera up in the top row. Thats a picture that Im already visualizing in my mind. I positioned some remotes at the 2010 games but Im hoping to position at least one remote at every venue I go to, which will be hard. Its really good to go into these events with an idea of what I want to do because the best pictures are usually made - they are planned in advance. But at the Olympics there are a lot of restrictions about what I can do and access, so that all needs to be negotiated. And you have to do that yourself [position your remote cameras]? Yes. I dont have any minions. [laughs] And the thing is, I wouldnt want someone to install a remote for me because shooting a remote picture is no different from looking through the viewfinder and pushing the shutter and I dont want anyone else doing that for me either. So, you know, you can sleep when youre deadnobody gets any sleep during the Olympicsits just one of those things. Theyre eighteen to twenty hour days. You start installing remotes at 6 am but even before that, I go and put my bag down to secure my spot. Youre not supposed to do that but theres a sort of honour among thieves - that if somebodys bag is there, you dont move their stuff and take their spot. Not all photographers honour that code but for the most part its something that people respect. So, Ill put my bag down and then wait for maybe three, four, five hours for the event to begin. We call that hurry up and wait. Then I shoot. Hopefully Ill shoot some

great pictures. If there is any break in the action Ill download the cards or give them to my editor. After the event is over, download the cards, back them up, then pack up and go to the next event and do it all over again. Ill maybe finish up at around eleven oclock at night. If Im waiting for four or five hours at the next event, thatll give me some time to edit my pictures. There is no WiFi at the Olympics - you have to go to the press centre to plug in to get an Internet connection. So if Im not using my laptop, Ill take my stuff that I dont need, like my rolling bag and my hard drives, and Ill stake out my spot in the press room and then go out and shoot the event. But if I can, Ill do all that editing sitting in my spot while Im waiting for the next event and get everything queued up. That means selected, all the post processing, cropped and captioned. Captioning is a pain in the ass because youve got to make sure everyone is identified. Thats very time consuming, making sure that the captions are accurate because a great picture is useless without an equally good caption. Sometimes it means hauling my computer around asking people at the event, Who is this? Do you recognize this athlete? In some sports the numbers are really obvious but in others [theyre not], or if youre doing something more artistic like a pan or a blur, sometimes its hard to figure out whos who. So you try to track down a coach or somebody from the team who can help you identify them. Does your editor help you with that? He will, yeah. Thats what Im looking forward to. Ill hand him the cards and say have fun Seth and go off and shoot some more. Im hoping to get more shooting in, but that may be offset by the additional security and the hassle of getting around London. Thats the thing - the Olympics is all about the logistics. Its no different from a studio photographer who spends three or four days pre-planning a shootand then another week or two on the other end working on all the other elements. Its the same idea - its the logistics. People think its so glamorous, and truth be told it is great - you get a front row seat to history - but people dont understand the amount of work that goes into getting to the spot where you are shooting - to where you have your hand on your camera. So thatll be my Olympics. Some people say Aw, youre so lucky you get to go to London and sit in the pub and drink beer! Yeah, thats exactly what Ill be doing sitting in the pub and drinking beer, shooting the odd picture as somebody runs by. [laughs] Which events are high on your priority list? Events that I think will make cool pictures. Track cycling, diving, gymnastics, BMX...I also like the pictures from the white water events. The kayaking is really coolI think that will make for some good pictures. This will probably be my only opportunity to shoot at centre-court at Wimbledon. I dont know that I can make that happen but Im hoping I can work that in. The marathon. The marathon is where the Olympics started and its also one of the few events where I will be able to situate the games in London. Beach Volleyball is another one that will be great because theyre putting a beach
vancouverphotoworkshops.com

photohaus magazine fall 2012

in front of the Royal Horse Guards Parade, which is supposed to have a really spectacular background and you can situate it in London. Triathlon - I have to shoot some triathlon because my wife is a triathlete and if I dont shell kill me [laughs]. But another reason I want to shoot triathlon is because theres a good story. The Brownlee brothers from Britain are very likely to finish first and second in the mens triathlon. Another good story will be the womens boxing. Theres an American woman who is slated to be the next Mohammed Ali. Shes set to dominate the sport and thats a great story. That means I need to do research going into the games, to know whats important and to know whats going to make for interesting pictures. The pictures that Im shooting are not for the newspapers the next day. these are for long term. I need to take the long view on this, so these have to be pictures that will sell between now and the next summer games. Thats what Corbis wants me to shoot, and what I want to shoot, because to me thats more interesting - pictures that stand on their own merit, as opposed to just a record of somebody who did something on a specific day and, really, the picture doesnt have any photographic merit but it has interest just because it was interesting at that particular moment in time. Those kinds of pictures Im not as interested in making. I want to make the kind of pictures that, a year from now, two years from now, somebody will look at and go Wow thats cool. I like that. What gear is in your bag? Everything. Everything but lights and a tripod. You are not allowed to use flashes, so no strobes. Tripods are not allowed at the Olympics - they take up too much space. I will be taking four or five camera bodies. Ill be using two Nikon D4s, a D800, a D3 and a D700 - probably shooting with two or three bodies in the spot that Im in, and another one or two installed as remotes. Nikon has been fabulous. Theyre helping me out with gear. Ill need two 1724mms because if one is stashed away somewhere on a remote, I need to have one with me as well.The lenses that I need doubles of are the 14-24mm and the 70-200mm. There are certainly sports where a 600mm is what I need - Nikon will be there with a huge pool of equipment that I can borrow on a daily basis. Of my own gear I will have two 14-24s, 24-70, two 70-200 f/2.8s, 1.4x extender, 1.7x extender and a 200-400. That will probably be my main lens for the long lens stuff. When necessary I will borrow from Nikon a 500 or a 600 or a 400 f/2.8. I wheel it all around in a rolling Think Tank bag so I dont

severely compress my vertebrae. Ill also have a backpack to move that amount of gear around. When youre working long days any unnecessary gear just makes your day longer and harder. Youre slower and it takes longer to get from place to place. Youve got to be smart about what youre using. It sounds like a lot of gear but Ive thought long and hard about every piece of it. Is there anything you learned from 2010 that will help you in London this time around?

out to the Richmond oval, I know Cypress, I know Whistler, I know BC placewhat Skytrain to get off at. Just getting around London I know Im going to get on the wrong Tube and end up going in the wrong direction, so everything is going to take me that much longer, but I am as prepared as possible for the logistics. I tell all my students that the number one thing that affects photographers is access - the access you have, meaning the access to locations and access to somebodys time. The correlation between access and the quality of the pictures is a straight line. Its very difficult to get access during the Olympics, to be where you want to be, to make the pictures you want to make and it can be very frustrating. I have to work hard to play well with the other children. I, like most photographers, dont respond well to being told no. I know where I need to be to make the picture. So I guess the biggest thing that I learned in Vancouver would be patience, which doesnt come easily to me when Im working. Its hard to be patient. The reality is, getting worked up about stuff like that is counter-productive because it makes the days harder and longer. The amount of energy you have in a given day is finite and if you waste a lot of it getting frustrated and upset its not productive. There is already enough pressure on you to get the shots that you are there to get Yeah, absolutely. While its a privilege to be among the worlds best photographers, its a tremendous amount of pressure. Their pictures are going to be out there instantly and my editor can see those pictures, and if Im sitting in the same spot as where those pictures came from I better bloody well have those pictures. Thats why Im paid to be there.

The Olympics is the Olympics for the athletes but it is also the Olympics for the photographers!
Yes - how to manage the logistics. I was very fortunate going into the 2010 Olympics, Ive got some very good friends - Andy Clark and Nick Didlick who, between the two of them, have probably shot nearly twenty Olympics. I sat down with both of them. Nick was actually the Photo Manager for the entire Olympics so hes over in London now. And another friend of mine who is the Photo Venue Manager is also in London now. So thats certainly helpful because I can email them and they can give me the heads up about what to expect. But the biggest unknown for me, the advantage that I had that Im losing - and I know this isnt your question - but I had home field advantage in Vancouver. I know how to get around Vancouver, Id shot in all the venues before because I shot all the test events. Id been

If there is one piece of advice that you could give someone wanting to start a career in photojournalism, what would it be? Shoot every single day. Go out and shoot. Probably the best place to start is the local minor league baseball field, or soccer field or something like that to hone your skills and just be out there shooting. My father was a creative director at a number of different ad agencies and a writer came in to see him one day to try to get work. My father said to him what did you write today? and the guy said to him well I didnt write anything because Im going around talking to people like you and my father looked at him and said well youre not a writer today. If you didnt write anything today, then youre not a writer today. And if you didnt shoot any pictures today then you cant call yourself a photographer today.

This shot is a reminder of the importance of thinking on your feet. We were shooting in studio but when I saw this sky, I decided to go up on the roof to take advantage of the natural drama.We stood the model on a platform draped in black fabric to get her above the roof line and shot from a very low angle to create that imposing, powerful feel. I under-exposed the background by stopping down my lens to f/20 [proper exposure would have been approximately f/8] and lit her with a single gridded beauty dish to play up the drama and angular lines of the face. This look can be taken further by adding a 2nd or 3rd source for a rim light. If youre blessed with the sun shining through the clouds, then use it as a rim or backlight. I decided to work with the single light and let all the drama come from the sky. Remember to keep an eye on your background. I had to shift my angle of view to ensure I had the best clouds in frame. Some subtle post-production including contrast and colour biasing as well as some retoucihng on the model complete the effect.

SOUTHWEST
PHOTO TOUR

AMERICAN

Certain things catch your eye, but pursue only those that capture your heart.

- Unknown

Its high noon and Im standing on the surface of the moon being buffeted by a hot cross-breeze. The vista that unfolds before me is otherworldly. Red and white rock collides into a jagged layer cake of ancient history, and its so arresting that I cant look away. This is the American Southwestspecifically; the Valley of Fire State Park in Nevada, and its the last stop on a week-long road trip that has taken me from Las Vegas, east to the South Rim of the majestic Grand Canyon, then north to the awe-inspiring Bryce Canyon and finally to this wind-swept land so ancient and arid that its like being swallowed by a classic western film. The sun, heat and wide-open space were a welcome respite from the long dreary Vancouver winter, and as I drove in a wide arc around the Southwest Mountain States I was surprised, almost hourly, at how much the landscape changed. Mocha-coloured flatlands would suddenly drop away into gaping canyons. Rolling ranch land would spring up into majestic red spires reaching for the sky. From a photographers perspective, the aesthetic appeal of the terrain is undeniable, but its the history of the place that gives depth to the dramatic panorama. Prehistoric humans occupied the Valley of Fire as early as 300 B.C. and their legacy is left behind in scores of petroglyphs peppering the red rock formations. In recent history it was the early settlers whose romantic tales of conquering this rugged frontier were, until this journey, only the stuff of Hollywood flicks. The reality is even more enchanting than the fiction. By Christa LeCraw

INCREASING REAL-ESTATE VALUES WITH PHOTOGRAPHY

BY Richard Hulbert
Did you catch the article in the Wall Street Journal regarding how real estate listings with better photos command higher prices? There are teachable techniques for increasing the bottom line for Real Estate Professionals. One of the essential skills in real estate photography is learning how to convey the impression or illusion of 3-dimensional space in a 2-dimensional image. If we turn to lessons learned from the movie industry, we can glean some valuable, simple-to-execute techniques. After all, cinematographers have been exploring ways to portray the real world on the silver screen for well over half a century. My passion for architecture and photography has lead me to teaching, where I often explore the notion of depth cues in buildings and how to recognize them. Using these depth cues can help you better portray the interiors and exteriors of buildings and land holdings in your photography.
MRAIC, FRAIC, RCA, AIA

The only way to photograph children is to get them to come to you. What I mean is, you need to engage them and get them interested in doing what you want them to do; Sit up straight? Look at the camera? Smile? Get your finger out of your nose? They have no interest in doing what you want just because you want it. You have to make them want it and I find the way to get kids to want what I want, is to make it fun! Its important to focus entirely on the kids while youve got their attention, and that means being set up and 100% ready for them. Its no fun running after kids while dealing with technical glitches. You have to plan ahead, be prepared, and do what it takes to make it happen. Then, you can achieve great lighting, great backgrounds and great expressions, all in one frame.
Mary will be teaching a new workshop on photographing children in October. See VPW course listings for fulll details.

Lets touch on three of these depth cues here: Vertical and Horizontal Planes Think of the walls and floors of buildings and rooms as physical planes that, if composed appropriately, can make a huge difference in creating a feeling of 3D space. The location of the camera relative to these planes has a significant effect on the creation of the sense of depth for the prospective buyer. Subject or Object Overlaps Overlapping objects add to the feeling of depth. The staging or placement of furnishings in a photograph can increase the perception of depth. Windows and doorways can be used to further provide a sense of depth. Photographing through portals from one room to another can set up a great on-line or on-paper home tour for a potential buyer. Size Progression of Like Elements When the viewer of a photo senses like elements that get progressively smaller or larger, the notion of depth is enhanced. These elements might be columns, windows, light fixtures,or patterns in the floor or ceiling of buildings that can be used to advantage.

In this climate where the creative tides are rising, Pinter is staying afloat by adapting to new technologies & evolving his aproach to digital imaging.

St e ve Pin t er
What are your thoughts on CGI and how do you see it impacting the photography industry? I see CGI as just another tool in the arsenal of image making. Does it really matter if the image was created entirely in CGI or shot in camera or a Photoshop composite of dozens of images? In the end if you create a compelling image, how you got there is irrelevant. As far as how it is impacting the photography industry - anything that needs to look perfect - a car, bottle of beer, a wristwatch, or cosmetic product - these are already transitioning to CGI. It's the best way to represent these objects. Now a photographer can lament the loss of work in these categories or see an opportunity to be the visionary (read: Director or DOP) in the CGI studio. What is the photographer's number one talent? Seeing light. It doent matter if its film or digital or CGI - that eye for quality of light is what is needed to make that great image. Do you think there's still a place for darkroom and other conventional processes? Yes. I have a lot of respect for B&W printing - seeing the image come up in the developer. It's still magic to me. But, I find that I don't have the precise control, the repeatability that I have gotten used to with Photoshop....and I don't miss the chemistry. What other types of media inform your work? I love to look at painting - the Dutch masters in particular. It is amazing how they made such photorealistic images with the careful application of dabs of paint. I find it incredible to look at a painting and see the detail, the brilliance, and then look closely and see what tricks they played on the eye. Who are the photographers you'd absolutely love to work with? What photographers, dead or alive, inspire you? Elliott Erwitt is my all time favourite photographer. I love his sense of humour. He is a keen observer of people and he finds humour just about anywhere. Micheal Kenna, for his beautiful B&W work and his reserved style of presentation. Arnold Newman, for his portraits. And W. Eugene Smith, for some of the most compelling prints I have ever seen. What's your favourite blog or website? www.aphotoeditor.com www.macperformanceguide.com Does the Mac or PC debate really matter, or does it all come down to Adobe? This is the same as the C vs N debate. It is a religious war and you can not reason with fanatics. Either platform is a viable choice.

here were you born? Vancouver. I always joke that I am one of three people actually born in Vancouver. When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? Race car mechanic. My parents taped an interview with me when I was two or three years old and I say I want to fix race cars. My insensitive dad asks 1969 Chevys? I say no, I want to fix green ones. I now take that to indicate Lotus or Aston Martin. You know, British racing green. What is your absolute, can't live without, favorite Photoshop tool? Curves What is your most used/ useful Keyboard short cut? That's easy. Command Z [undo] Canon or Nikon and why? The contrarian in me says why so narrow minded? How about Apple iPhone for snaps, Fuji X100 for serious snaps, Hasselblad and PhaseOne for serious work? I have a soft spot for old Pentax glass so I use a Pentax K-5 for my personal work. There are bits of C and N gear that intrigue me....Canon's TS-E 17mm f/4 and Nikon's D800 come to mind. So, can I mount the TS-E 17mm on the D800? Of course not. Do you use any other software in your workflow? Yes, Lightroom, Capture One, Phocus, Photomatix, Modo

Whats your favourite visually inspiring film? Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon - some of the most beautiful cinematography in film. Any thoughts on the future of the photography industry? Adapt or die. There will be even more rapid changes than what we have seen in the past ten years. We have to be open to changing expectations from clients seeing opportunities as change comes. Some kinds of photography will be going away, but new opportunities with present themselves. Don't be average. The bottom is pushing upwards. The low end is getting better and you have to offer something extraordinary to not be drowned in the rising tide.

Do you listen to music while working at the computer? Depends on the kind of work I am doing. Sometimes I need total silence to concentrate on the task at hand. Other times I have either instrumental music, vocal music, or even podcasts like This American Life and Radiolab and All Songs Considered playing. Sometimes I have an audiobook playing. That's how I "read" the Steve Jobs Biography. How else do you like to spend your time, when you're not tethered to a computer screen? I am the current custodian two fine old Studebakers. Wash and drive.

Steve will be teaching a Photoshop course at Vancouver Photo Workshops starting September 26. See VPW course listings for fulll details
