We Challenged Peter McKinnon
Introduction
So we’re collabing what’s up guys welcome to mango street you might be a little bit confused right now because I’m not mango street but today I’m gonna try and shoot like mango street they’re gonna try and shoot like me it’s a challenge it’s a collab it’s everything We’ve ever wanted it to be stay tuned let’s do this.
Mango Street’s Style
Other than wearing dark clothes and a jean jacket we like to shoot portraits pretty wide angle usually like a 24 millimeter that’s in my 75 millimeter about to get close to our subjects and like usually Shoot up or shoot us some like kind of different angle than used to seeing Chris anything else want to add our main goal is to capture emotion and make sure that the person who sees it feels something that you feel, the same thing that we’re trying to convey.
Posing and Emotion
One of the things I’ve noticed about a lot of York photos is the posing so I’m really bad at posing I’m usually just like okay stand there and and look North or look at your camera or take a photo but you guys are always doing like the crazy I don’t even how you come up with that stuff okay so emotion is like a good thing like capturing movements as it’s happening instead of like having somebody land and posed and then take the photo they’re like having them like walk through the toes and shooting Through it okay so it looks like it’s actually happening feels more natural then, yeah I always just try always assumed you guys we’re doing like okay stand that way and and just pretend like you’re falling versus someone actually falling falling I guess that makes that weaselly pushing over okay cool so posing with Motion oh and I think like another like signature thing is like being weird.
Emulating Mango Street’s Style
Here we go I’m gonna attempt the mango street style popped I chose this location because AI like the shadows on the ground made by the cool cables here it feels a little industrial feels a little la if you will I like the pop of color on the door and because they like to shoot up a lot with their angles This puts Rachel above where I am without me having to get like really down low to kind of elevates that so it’s gonna make a little bit easier to kind of emulate what I think is their style so let’s do it.
Making It Peter McKinnon’s Style
Okay so I think when it comes to my style it’s very Contrasting and punchy but a lot of depth of field so I shoot everything really wide open with a really long focal length because I love the compression and then I always like to incorporate portraits with landscape somehow so if I’m gonna go wide on a landscape I’ll shoot it with like a Really long focal length but I’ll back so far up that the person’s like like small people in big places he’s like what I’d like to do for report just like that and then really just really dramatic as far as like where on earth was that shot like the clouds need to be Right and just like kind of not heavy vignetting but like enough that it makes it feel it’s really moody in dramatics this is gonna be so much fun And then lastly like obviously making sure like the light is at the right cuz when it’s landscape from the sun’s really high like it is right now I know it’s just starting to set might not be the exactly best time to get like dramatic since the sky is so blue so Maybe we wait just like half an hour we get a quick coffee then the Sun will be perfect and it’ll just it’ll be way better.
Conclusion
