Haines. Thanks for your question. I time. How do I decide what Stills to shoot? Well, I just treat it. Like I'm a photojournalist in a real happening situation and I go out there and I document it just like any other PJ job. So for me, the environment that I'm shooting in is a real environment. I'm not so Silly to believe it. But I that's how I treat it. So when I'm looking at the actors and I'm looking at the scene then I will like I said I will treat it like that's the real deal. What's happening in front of me is actually happening in the real world and I try and document it like that. I don't shoot a lot of rehearsals because the actors don't give everything. I don't do setups because I find setup suck the life out of an image. Age. I like to get what I call the directors performance, that's when an actor is giving the director, everything they have in their heart and they're laying all their emotion out on the table. And they're never going to give that to the still photographer. They give that to the director. So that's my job to go and grab that. So, yeah, basically, just Whatever, looks good you should and there's no rules. I know that some Studios have a little go to guide of what they want but I don't generally read them, I just go and do my thing. Okay, follow it up, if there's, if I didn't cover anything. Thanks mate. Cheers.
