Emmy award-winning multimedia journalist Richard Koci Hernandez shares insight in this piece on using any tool available to capture moments for story telling, from old traditional means to apps on an iPhone. Stressing that “perfect is boring,” Hernandez discusses techniques for obtaining shots you want as well as how to make your photographs more interesting. He also touches on the rise of blurb books, a site allowing Instagram users to create books from photos they have taken.
It’s an interesting piece that bounces between interviewing your subject and also using stills to tell a multimedia story. A quick and inspiring watch for anyone interested in the multimedia arts, Hernandez clearly knows what’s “now.”

Wow this amazing. I want to start doing this shooting method every time i’m walking from my apt to class! Is he using a regular Iphone camera though? like how many mega pixels? i love the after effects, is it like regular Instagram effects? the outcome of the pictures after the effects he’s using make them look like pieces of art we would see hanging in coffee shops and restaurants.
Yeah it’s really cool! He says the names of the apps as he is showing you the pictures…Might be worth jotting their names into the app store to see if you can find them there. 🙂
Wow, I’m going to take a look at some of those apps he mentions. Instagram is great but it bugs me that you can’t avoid killing your photos’ resolution. That said, I have a goal of using Instagram more this quarter.
