Sometimes, you will notice how a director of photography can be a great photograph. I&#8217;d like to mention two movies right now: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0061809\/\">In Cold Blood<\/a> (by Richard Brooks, 1967; DoPh: <strong>Conrad L. Hall<\/strong>) and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt1054580\/\">Desert Flower<\/a> (by Sherry Horman, 2009; DoPh: <strong>Ken Kelsch<\/strong>).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Go to an art museum<\/strong> near me and check for all kinds of paintings and graphic art.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Go and visit a local craftsman<\/strong> to see what they do with metal, wood or stone. Art can sometimes start from all kinds of materials.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Open a photography magazine<\/strong> and skip the hardware\/software pages to check the pictures from great photographers: I like the photo agency pages of Chasseur d&#8217;Images (in France, Europe) for they present commercial photography at its best.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Usually, it&#8217;s enough to go further, not only as a zombie, but as a renewed photographer.<\/p>\n<p>Post scriptum: For those who did not recognize his name, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0005734\/\">Conrad L. Hall<\/a> is a director of photography who is widely recognized and participated to many great movies. Just remember <em>American Beauty<\/em> and <em>Road to Perdition<\/em> (both of Sam Mendes), or <em>Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sometimes, I need to get new inspiration for my photography.
