My internship at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.news-herald.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">News-Herald<\/a> gives me the chance to work in the field as a professional photographer. I am assigned daily photo assignments and I blog my impressions of the assignment for class credit.<\/p>\n<p>One of the first and most important things I have learned is the importance of thinking about the assignment beforehand. Asking questions and talking to the reporter (if there is one) helps develop a sense of the story before you get the chance to meet your subject or event. Going in with a plan and thinking about the pictures ahead of time results in a better shoot overall.<\/p>\n<p>Some things I think about before going out to an assignment:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What is the story the reporter is telling to tell and how can I visually tell it? Are there any moments I NEED to capture and what are they?<\/li>\n<li>Is there anything that could complicate this assignment? For example, restrictions of what I can shoot.<\/li>\n<li>Where is my assignment taking place, do I know how to get there? Do I need to carpool with the reporter?<\/li>\n<li>Do I have the right gear for the assignment? Do I need a longer lens?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Having the work experience and being able to shoot everyday creates a habit and better understanding what newspapers demand from photographers. Some of my common mistakes on assignments are lack of variety in shooting\/composition, missing important moments, and not being patient enough.<\/p>\n<p>For the remaining 5-6 weeks I have at the News-Herald, I hope to make better pictures, push the envelope even further. I want to be diverse in my shooting and more conscious of my camera frame. I want to constantly push for moments, even if they are subtle.<\/p>\n<p>If you are interested in looking at my progress while at the News-Herald, you can follow my <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.chrislanger.com\" target=\"_blank\">blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Chris Langer<\/p>\n<p>2010 Summer News-Herald Photography Intern<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Internships are a way to respond to problems for real life clients.
