A photographer’s email list gave me the heads-up on this guest post on Scott Kelby’s blog by Jay Maisell. It’s about the power of the still images as opposed to moving / video and is a very interesting read. I’m very excited about the new ways to use motion content to tell a story, whether it’s editorial or a commercial idea we’re trying to get across, but this post reminds us of how the most important images in history were almost always still photographs.
He also talks about some of the great photo editors he worked with and some of the things they said that made him stop and think. I won’t quote it, but head over using the link above and take a read, it’s worth having a coffee in your hand too.
