The Photographer who Shot Euphoria, White Lotus & The Idol | Eddy Chen

Описание: Eddy Chen is a Hollywood set photographer whose work you've almost certainly seen. He shot all three seasons of Euphoria, The Idol, and The Summer I Turned Pretty, and his photos of Zendaya became the key art for Euphoria Season 1 & 2.

In this conversation we get into how Eddy went from shooting rigid network-approved stills on Brooklyn Nine-Nine to pioneering an entirely new role on set, the embedded photographer. We talk about why he chooses to shoot film, the story behind that Euphoria key art and how the photos taken on set become the images that define how we remember a show or film forever.

We also get into gear: Fuji vs Sony, Nikon F6, Contax G2, Leica MP and M7, Cinestill vs Kodak and the philosophy behind always shooting something for yourself, even when you're working for someone else.
This is the first episode of Making Pictures, a series of conversations with the people behind the images.
