Lehigh's Rock Wall



For my video interview with photos, I talked to Liam who works at the climbing wall in Taylor Gym and Christina, who comes a lot to the wall to work out. I really enjoyed taking the pictures for this because I got to climb up to different angles so I could get a different view of the actions going on. I think this photographs well because it's hard to make a climber pose for you (because you can hardly stay still doing these things) so you get a lot of candid shots that show things that climbers do, not posed.

If I could change anything I think I might go a more technical route with the interview, asking my subjects to maybe explain certain techniques and/or devices. This way I could show specific pictures with what was being said instead of general pictures of climbing. A lot of what they talked about was general climbing things i.e why they enjoy it etc. I liked that point of view because most people don't know much about climbing but I would add more specifics to their explanation if I had a longer amount of time to show off certain skills.
