In the GoPro footage, you can see the 7D’s lens sticking out in the bottom of the frame and hear the shutter fire each time Mak took a photo. The entire experience provides viewers with a pretty interesting point of view. Take a look:
Mak says the inspiration behind the video came the classic photography film, War Photographer–a documentary about renowned war photographer James Nachtwey, which uses a similar perspective. (You can watch the film on Youtube for free, here.) One of Mak’s go to lenses for shooting is the Sigma 18-35mm f1.8, which means he is typically right inside the action. At a protest, this means a lot of bumping and pushing. To see more of Dillon Mak’s work, you can check out his Instagram here, and his street photography here. The photographer says he plans on making more of these types of videos, so be sure to subscribe to his YouTube channel for updates. [ via Reddit ]
