ABSTRACT

The more you can make the equipment and process disappear, the stronger your connection to the subject.

If you’re working with more elaborate setups, it’s helpful to minimize the downtime of futzing with equipment by planning and preparing ahead of time. If your camera is new, learn as much as you can about how to perform the operations you’ll need before the shoot. Or, if you’ve got the finances, hire a skilled assistant who’ll take care of it all for you!
