Iconic Portrait Photographer Marc Hauser Offers Quick Tips on Honing Your Style (VIDEO)
June 3, 2014
Videographer Chris Cascarano recently spent some time with legendary Chicago portrait photographer Marc Hauser and came away with a real chestnut of a film that’s definitely worth a look.
Titled “If You Can’t Do It Right, Do It Big,” this micro documentary on Hauser clocks in at just under 1:30-minute but it’s filled with great one-liner tips from the master photographer.
If you’re not already familiar with Hauser’s work, he’s shot portraits for Rolling Stone, Playboy and many other publications, photographing everyone from Michael Jordan to Woody Allen. I interviewed Hauser a few years ago and along being struck by his iconic portraits, I was taken by his colorful personality, which this video showcases.
