3 Minutes with Me and Carson Kressley

by

I spent a few minutes recently with Carson Kressley talking about covering the presidential campaign and politics, as well as a few tips for Nikon’s “Look Good In Pictures” series.


If you’re so inclined, after the jump is a second video on executive portraiture.

  1. Great interviews, John, particularly loved the discussion of “shooting” elected officials and “lunging.” Funny and informational–thanks! 🙂

  2. LOL

    Good job of promoting yourself John but what would Doug Mills, Ron Edmonds, Steve Crowley, Luke Frazza, Chris Usher, or any of the other shooters (yes they use that word in the WH press room) say about you being the ‘chief’ or even a political photographer?
  5. Anonymous –

    My title at the magazine I worked at, on staff, was Chief Photographer. I left that job in 1995 or so, and have been freelance since then. Further, you’re welcome to look around the work I do – being a political photographer is, in fact, what I do, among other things. I’m sorry you feel somehow slighted by that fact.

  6. Didn’t you shoot the White House for Nation Geographic — and aren’t you a member of my Facebook White House ‘Travel Pool HappySnap’ group, and haven’t we rubbed elbows in CapHill hearings and buffer zones around town? Seems like political coverage to me.

    Now about that duster …
  7. John has in fact been “shooting” or making photographs in Washington for as long as I can remember, at least 20 years, including White House, Capitol Hill and many many other assignments. The smart ones do not have to go to the White House everyday to make a living : ) Just my opinion. Great Job John, Hope to see you in New York this weekend, on my way.

  8. Sandy, are you saying that those photographers that have been covering the White House exclusively are not smart? What qualifies you to have this opinion – the few political photos in your portfolio and your limited experience covering the White House on a day pass?
