Guthrie Trapp in Video
There is nothing I like better than a chance to work with some of the world’s greatest still photographers and take them into video.
This week, I was priviledged to work 1 on 1 with Jim McGuire, a man many consider to be one of the greatest portrait photographers in the business.
His specialty, for the past 30 odd years, has been Nashville’s country and western musicians.
Check out his book, NASHVILLE PORTRAITS if you want to see some really great work.

The advantage of working with a great photographer is that they have an ‘eye’.
One of the great failings of television is that, even though it is a visual medium, it more often than not, does not pay enough attention to the visuals.
Often time, just showing up and hitting the record button seems to be enough.
Not always, but often enough to make me wonder what happens when you take a photographer who really a visual artist and introduce them to video.
We’re just getting started, but I have great expectations.
He also knows pretty much everyone in the Nashville music scene – as a night on the town with Jim rapidly proved!!!
