Really great.

One thing I was wondering: did Chris run his idea by Shatner before the shoot, or during? If during, did he he have pretend cops and cop uniforms at the ready, just in case? From the interview, it’s not clear at what point the ideas are discussed.

Excellent. Nice to know my patience may not be just stupidly trying to hang on to a dream. I’ll bet, though, even in this internet-driven world, 10 years is for those living in “the world”, while the rest of us in the sticks probably need to tack on another 5 or so.

I really enjoyed Chris’s candid and open answers. I like reading the philosophy more than the technology.

[...] I was quite happy to find that A Photo Editor blog featured a long interview with him last week. Haven’t had the chance to read it both as I want to do so when I’ll be enjoying some free time between Christmas and New Year eve but I thought I’ll post the link to it here: Chris Buck interview part 1 and part 2.

It is so nice to hear opinions that differ from the normal regarding becoming a photography and creating pictures.

The “don’t assist” suggestion, I’m sure will be controversial. I found the idea of creating your style from rebelling against styles you don’t like as opposed to being inspired by styles you do like to be very interesting. Thats really something to think about.

Its also very inspiring to see someone making a living out of this with a look that askews the mainstream.

Splendid interview Rob. I really appreciate the candidness as well as the personal & professional insight.
It must have been thrilling to open up those Kodak boxes full of contact sheets.

Rob, great interview x2. This one speaks so well about the creative process. I think that dealing with different ideas, different people, and different agendas is daunting — and Chris seems to have a great way of managing all that. Thanks for these. I’m finding them really insightful.

I love Chris Buck. I discovered him 4 years ago when I got out of school. The first thing I did when I got out was head to NY to show my book. I called up Chris before leaving LA and told him I’ll be in NY to show my book and would love to chat with him about photography. Without hesitation, he said yes and we met at a Starbucks and we chatted for about an hour. REALLY REALLY nice guy. Told me a lot of stuff I needed to know and also told me a lot of stuff that I DIDN’T want to know…like the whole “10 years to become successful” comment. Because of him, I’m still going. I got 6 more short years to go before success! Anyway, great interview. Good job. I second Jonathan Beller’s idea for Dan Winters.

hey rob…thanks for posting this interview..i’ve always enjoyed his work and it’s nice hearing his thoughts…i really like the list mentality..i think we all do that to some extent or another but it’s probably good practice, and far more organized, if written out. thanks dude.

Thank you for doing these interviews, it is so insightful. Chris Buck is someone I have looked up to for a long time and knowing that he struggles with the same issues that I do as a young photographer is so reassuring (I too write down and sketch ideas before an assignment, because once you are at the location everything is crazy, rushed, and you get nervous). Like Jeff Singer said above, being a photographer is kind of a solitary endeavor and it is rare that we get to peek into each other’s minds and process like this. Please do more of these!

Great stuff. I like how it seems to be more about the idea than the technique for Chris. I think anyone can learn technique, but our ideas are buried within us.

I’m guessing these interviews are getting Chris a lot of hits on his site. It’s gone down. Uh oh.
