Steve Dunwell - Drones, Harvard & Initiative

My name is Andrew Walmsley and your listening to episode 170 of photography insights.  This is the show that interviews people from the photography world.

Today I'm bringing you a longer interview, it's mainly because Steve articulates so well I didn't want to remove much from our chat.  Steve Dunwell was recommended by the lovely Lou Jones so naturally I had to look at his work.  He comes from the Boston region of America too, but shoots aerial and architecture work.  It's a very different field to most and due to the nature of the work very different!

It's really intriguing talking to someone who just hops on a plane or helicopter with someone after thinking about an idea.  Sometimes it's not about working for clients, but a project or picture he has in mind.  Steve has many decades experience in the industry so seen a lot of changes and adopted these in his work.  In the last 5 years he has used the DJI range of drones to further increase the style of work he can create.

So in this one we discuss:

• point of view
• specialising
• working with clients
• initiative
• timing + seasons
• competing
• patterns
• Harvard university

There will be some example images from Steve on the website too, so look out for those.
