#150 GET IN REAL CLOSE & TELL THE STORY

David Butow, a Washington DC based photojournalist who made the decision to move to the capital purely because he wanted in on the Trump show. But away from the portraits he made of the president which was the focus of last week’s story, today he talks about the pictures he makes in the field internationally, which are often of highly charged moments where how you feel, is a strong part of what you see. Getting in close, real close, is a key to making these stories.
