AP photographer Carolyn Kaster shares how she built a rapport and connected with people to capture the scene of Michael Flynn's ReAwaken America road show. Look BehindTheLens of AP photographers' 2022 assignments.
I did some groundwork before I went there. I got there a day early. I didn’t stay at a hotel, I stayed at a local B&B and started talking to people. I went around the site, I went to a restaurant that had the most cars — just trying to get a sense of what the community was like, even though I knew that mostly people from the outside were coming to the event. I found where the hospital was, I found where the two police stations were.
I see it as a dance between the two halves of my visual brain. There’s this reactionary brain and this reactionary method, like breaking news. And then there’s the more documentary side, which is a more contemplative side and is not so reactionary or knee jerk. It’s not a car crash; it’s more trying to capture a culture and a feeling and a texture and the frequency of a thing. That takes some looking around.Like the woman praying along the fence line to the American flag.
As a professional photographer, my craft is capturing the scene. But I really believe the more time you have, the richer the pictures can be, the more nuanced they can be. You can actually find where the emotion is, where things meet and where the energy is. It takes some looking around and being able to get out of your own head.
