Pressed by Tara Kocourek
Description: Tara Kocourek made this film during the 2-5 June 2011 Backpack Journalism Workshop With Bill Gentile in Washington, DC. Tara's background as still photographer is evident in this film, a quiet examination of one artist's quest for creative self. She used an HDSLR with separate recorder to ensure powerful images and professional sound. Her composition and understanding of light, even her movement as she searches the scene for symmetry and balance, make it clear she is no newcomer to the craft of visual communication.
