Earlier this year I went on assignment with Water Mission to Indonesia (again) to shoot some of their program work there. I always love these assignments, and I come back with loads of usable images. One of the things I committed to doing with my clients many years ago was to cover everything I possibly could in each location they send me. So–I’m looking for those moments of real human emotion, yes, but I’m also trying to exhaust the possibilities in each scene so that the work gets used. Wides, mediums, closeups, weird angles, whatever I can to give them the most bang for their buck. I really have very little control over how these images get used, but my hope is that they do, and setting up the client with many solid images, some iconic, increases the odds that they will use the work. That’s just good business, and the best way to increase the reach of how the images can affect change. Here are a few samples from that shoot:
