Exclusive Damon Dash excerpt from photographer Chris McPherson‘s RESPECT. Archive feature
“He really understood that the better the pictures are, the more pages they are going to run. It was supposed to be a spread, but it ended up being six pages or something. He sent me an e-mail after, where he took credit for everything – ‘You can thank me for getting you more pages.'”
– Chris McPherson
Chris McPherson still prefers to develop his pictures himself today. McPherson, whose work often shades toward dark, intimate portraits, says he likes to think of his shoots as long conversations, and that engaging his subjects Is a key to success. “I am looking for those moments,” he says of establishing that connection. “I shoot during that.’
