Seeing Through the Noise

SONY

2:30pm - 4:00pm  Room B

Have you ever wondered where all of those behind the scenes photos from your favorite movies and tv shows come from? Every production has an on set photographer (also called the unit still photographer) whose sole responsibility is to take photos which capture the essence of the production (both what goes on in front of and behind the camera). 

​

In this presentation, Hopper will take you through his journey from being a photojournalist covering such stories as the famine in Somalia, war in Yugoslavia and the aftermath of the fall of the Soviet Union to being the on set photographer for such productions as “Modern Family”, “Hidden Figures”, “Captain Phillips” and “Ghostbusters” (2016). This isn’t a “how to” lecture. Rather, Hopper wants to share ideas (and maybe get you to think more) about the “why” and “when” of choosing the shot.
