Our thanks go out to Jesse Kalisher for presenting The Photographers’ View: Composition & Design. We’ll give you a short recap here, but we invite you to watch the entire webinar at your convenience. This video along with previous webinars may be viewed when you visit our Ask the Pro page.
Jesse covered a lot of territory – from reading the light to seeing your shots in black & white to looking behind you, and the power of details to tell a story. His black & white images demonstrate the power and beauty of this genre. Like this image Jesse shot in Egypt with its focus on scale and perspective.
Jesse often works with the Pro Trekker 300 AW backpack (it’s a real hardworking, outdoor-inspired design) and fills it with this gear:
Nikon D3x
17-24mm f/2.8 Nikkor lens
24-70mm f/2.8 Nikkor lens
70 – 200 2.8 Nikkor lens
105mm macro Nikkor lens
SB-900 Nikon flash
Spare batteries
Lexar pro compact flash cards
Jesse Kalisher was a successful advertising executive who had an epiphany, walked away from his career and began traveling and taking pictures. Today his imagery may be found in places as diverse as the world’s luxury hotels and in the permanent collections of museums like the Louvre and the Smithsonian.
