It gets pretty wild out there,
but that’s when you
have to really dig deep,
recenter, and carry on.
And in the end when
you capture that perfect
moment, it makes all
the challenges worth it.
Manfrotto Ambassador
Renan OzturkI actually looked out the window
and could see the World Trade Cen-
ter on fire. Immediately, I grabbed
my camera bag and raced up to the
roof of my building. I photographed
both towers collapsing from
there. We were all completely
devastated, but you have to keep
control of yourself so that you
can function...dial your emo-
tions back so that you can put
one foot in front of the other.
Then, I went down to do
what I always do, to photo-
graph. I arrived at Ground
Zero at around 11 a.m. It was
difficult to make my way there
as all the roads were blocked
by police and firefighters, but I
knew it was important to document
the horrific event.Photographers starting off noware entering a very different
world from when you started.
Any suggestions for those
making their early forays into
the field?You need patience and discipline. Stay
focused, be engaged and photograph
things in the world that fascinate you.I think if you’re doing something you
care about, then it’s time well spent.
You only live once, so you want to
have a taste of all the different fac-
ets of the planet we live on. It is also
important to be prepared, to
work with good people—fix-
ers, translators or guides. They
are a key to successful projects.
If you don’t speak the local
language, you can run into
problems. If you don’t know
the customs, you need someone
to help. I have always traveled
with translators. Most impor-
tantly, I think if you’re doing
something you care about, then
it’s time well spent. DPPFor more on Steve McCurry’s book and
