Interview with a Photographer

Change

If there is one thing that I took away from the interview I had the other day with Bradley Castaneda, in the lower rainforest of Mount Rainier National Park, it is change. I sought out an interview with Bradley to show the outdoors as a space of creativity and inspiration. Through the hike we talked about many things from eating right to family. But the inspiration that I received from him was the way he used the outdoors to get in shape.  To better himself.

I think that people only think of fitness as running or hitting the gym, but that is not everyone’s cup of tea. To me the gym can be a turn off. Running down the street can make you feel like everyone who drives by is staring at you. Often times there is little to no “pay-off” to a run around your neighborhood.

There are so many advantages to the outdoors as a “fitness space”. Hiking is incredible exercise for people of all fitness levels. Selecting a hike that is right for you and doing it can be much better than just walking alone. Add to that a backpack with weight and you amp up your workout. There are also other things you can do.

A new trend that is getting going, that may not be a new concept, is trail running. Take your normal around the block run, add in some hill climbs and obstacles and you have a better workout. You can also trail run to some amazing vistas where you get something for your run.

This concept of hiking, backpacking, and climbing as fitness is not something that Bradley introduced me to. For me this is something that I have personally been trying to do. But listening to his commitment to his craft and to his sport lit a fire inside of me.

Back to the interview. Bradley is an amazing outdoor photographer who I had originally met when we went to high school together. His photos are something that can transport a person from your couch to the places that he has been. You can check out his Instagram if you want to see more of his work. Also check out the film for the actual interview.

The photos below are some of his work. If you would like to see more check out his website.

When it comes to sharing the idea of how important the outdoors is as a domestic space it is crucial to show the opposite of that space. To show the place that people want to escape.

In the film I need to show this in a negative matter. Use my shot composition to create the feeling of this space being ultimately the enemy in my film.

A wet drab day in Seattle can sometimes create this feeling with little to no effort required. The city itself can be lonely even though you are packed together with people, these people may still be strangers. The city much like the woods is filled with life. In the forest this life is contained in the plants and animals that call it home. While in the city the life is within the people and machines.

The shots that I have taken today will play a very small roll in finished product of my film. These will go by fast, but it is important to have them in the film. As many of my interviews thus far have talked about this need to “escape” the hustle, the technology and the world. By showcasing these few shots it will take the audience to the place that the stories talk about.

The ability I have to get these shots early on in the process is contributed to having created a shot list. The sequence I will edit these shots into will probably not be made until the end of my schedule. Being able to go and acquire these different shots when I have the chance, rather than scrambling to create a sequence at the last minute will better allow my vision to take the front seat in this project.
