Two incredibly beautiful pieces of cinematic journalism shot by Christopher Morris, founding member of the multiple award-winning photojournalist agency VII, and a photographer for TIME magazine. It was shot using a Canon 5D MKII, 7D, and a couple of tilt and shift lenses.
What I like most about these videos is the perspective coming through, and that it isn't, at least in my view, an attempt at objective journalism, but rather, the subjective experience. I feel like there's room to agree or disagree with his interpretation of facts. And zooming out to look at the bigger picture, I think his videos are another example of the changing landscape of photography in general, the merging of photo and video in a world where the average person has a very sophisticated visual intelligence, access to higher quality technology, and the ability to publish their work to millions of people without having to go through gated institutions like broadcast television. Sure, Chris shot for TIME, but these videos are posted on Vimeo.
