Hi friends, So, there have been many threads on LS to help us share knowledge and help the young emerging photographers. We've all seen Michael's brilliant thread with advice for young photographs (http://www.lightstalkers.org/advice_for_young_photographers ) and we all enjoyed Mustafah's extremely useful thread on travle tips (http://www.lightstalkers.org/extended-travel-tricks-tips ). <br> I was hoping we could start another one focusing on techniques for doing documentary work. I have a couple of questions to sort of"kick it off" but I'd love to hear general tips you guys have on the subject. <br> Here we go: ;) <ul> <li>story selection - where do you start? Where do you go from there?</li> <li>building a rapport with subjects - how do you do it?</li> <li>how to maximize the use of interpreters and fixers?</li> <li>What techniques do you use for writing field notes and maximizing the knowledge you can get first hand from the subjects?</li> </ul> Thanks guys :) 1 2009-01-10T11:50:03Z 0 2009-01-10T11:51:01Z false 25891 false 1299 2009-01-10T16:58:45Z true 2009-07-10T00:00:00Z false techniques-for-documentary-journalists 1 2009-01-10T16:58:45Z 23355
