My Take
An interesting look at America through a summer road trip with a fascinating look into the minds of two photographers. I very much enjoyed reading their point of view in how they chose the photographs they would take and how they approached their subjects.
The Story
Bryan Mitchell probes for the underlying character of the celebrities she photographs while Shade Colby is more interested in the underlying grit of life. Somehow they have to merge their talents while on a summer road trip shooting a pictorial essay of America.
Life-style wanted his “strong, sometimes concise, sometimes ambiguous” emotional pictures but they had to be balanced by the softer view of a woman — Bryan Mitchell.
The Characters
Bryan Mitchell is laid back and easygoing, respected photojournalist; always willing to take the easy path. Shade Colby is a celebrity photographer and eschews compassion, always seeing the negative with the rocky path her unconscious preference.
Together, they want to find the underlying story of their subjects, little realizing they will discover their own underlying stories.
