Billy Newman Photo Podcast | 295: Shooting with Multiple Cameras and Film | The Anti-Workshop Photography Movement

Um, so I worked on, on those for a while, like a handful of images of just the vehicle looking cool in the environment.

And then I spent a good bit of time with the couple as, as like a model or as like a, I don't know, an actor in the scene.

[chuckles] It went pretty well.

They're, uh, they're not like trained models or anything.

They're not professional and, and it probably wouldn't require that.

But they're, uh, avid RVers and drivers, and they drove the RV up there, so seemed to make sense to have them in the picture for a little bit.

But it was good to stage a couple things.

We pulled out a, a few things from, from inside the vehicle.

I almost never work with props.

It's something that I find really unnatural.

And in fact, I think like, um, I don't know if I've really ever worked with a lot of props or a lot of, uh, like, setup stuff.

Even when I was doing portrait stuff, we almost never used props.

We had like a little armrest.

I think that was about the only thing that would qualify.

A little squeaker to make t- kids look over to the camera.

Um, but [chuckles] in this situation, we had a handful of props like, uh, you know, like a wine glass, wine bottle, something to kinda set a scene of some sort.

I don't know if it was ever really, um, thought through as well from the perspective of an art director.

But, uh, we pulled out what we had and, and photographed them, and it worked out really well.

There's, um, you know, at least for, for the purposes that it, that we need for the time, you know, for while we're there.

So it was cool.

We, you know, just set up stuff and, uh, tried to take pictures.

I think I was working with three different cameras that evening.

Um, so I was working with, uh, the Nikon D70.

Or excuse me, that's totally the wrong camera.

I've never even owned a D70.
