Tech/nerd alert: Driving shots...aka "The kiss of death" for the still photographer. Luckily these days there isn't as much process trailer work (A tow rig where a car is towed in real streets with lights and cameras attached to the whole thing). A lot of car work is done now on stage either in front of a green screen or, more recently, in front of an LED wall (aka Volume wall). But even being in a controlled environment, there just often isn't room the still photographer go sneak a camera in there. So what did I do to get the 3rd photo on "Thunderforce" (a fun action comedy, btw)? I went across the stage, cranked the ISO on my Sony A92 up to 12,800, and zoomed the 200-600mm zoom all the way in to 600mm and got the shot. Yes, that's a handheld 600mm shot at F/6.3 at 1/80 of a second (Thank you image stabilization). #bts #unitstills #sonyprosupport #sonyalpha #unitstillphotographer #movie #actioncomedy #sonya92 #200-600 🎥: @barrypetersondp 📸: @hopper_stone

Happy birthday to @samheughan . I worked with him on @spywhodumpedme movie in 2017. It was one of those things where I wasn't familiar with Outlander and didn't know who he was. And you never would have known from his attitude and professionalism and general all around friendly demeanor that he was this massive star. He was just that lovely Scottish guy with whom I bonded over our mutual life of whiskey and gin. Had an amazing time shooting in Budapest, Vienna, Amsterdam and Berlin. Thank you to @susannafogel for having me along on this great ride. #samheughan #unitstills #sonyprosupport #sonyalpha #movie @smpspstills 📽️: @barrypetersondp 📸: @hopper_stone

The world is what it is right now and last Saturday I needed to unplug a little. So I grabbed my Sony Rx1rmkiii and headed over to Santa Monica and walked along the beach for a few hours, eventually making my way into Venice. I like the discipline of 1 camera, 1 lens. The Rx1rmkiii has a great f/2.0 35mm and since the sensor is pretty high res (60mp or something like that?), it has a button which will crop in in-camera to 50 and 70mm from the fixed 35mm. So it's kind of like having 3 lenses in one. It also has a pretty good macro function for getting in close. It's a pretty sweet knock around camera for just taking walks and shooting what's out there. Thanks to @kishsawh_ for introducing me to this beauty.
I'm thinkingabout doing more "1 camera, 1 lens" series. Any thoughts or requests for locations or what lens? The 50-150 is already next up. #sonyalpha #sonyrx1riii #streetphotography #santamonica #sonyprosupport

Sometimes there is a moment you want to be able to create with all of your actors. It's a whole thing to get them all together: You have to ask the 1st AD if it's OK. They they have to check with the actors. You need to check with grip and electric if it's OK or if you need to tweak some lighting or move some gear. You, as the photographer, need to have your frame figured out; because once you get the actors to their marks, you've got 30 seconds tops (usually less) to get the shot. On @instantfamily , I saw an opportunity when we had all of our actors portraying the family, and the dog (shoutout to Meatball) on set in the right wardrobe at the same time. So I went through all of the steps and had it all set up. But how do I make sure that the lighting is right for a group? That's where the stand-ins come in (aka "2nd team"). You don't know a good stand in until you've worked with a bad one. They are very much the unsung heroes of the set. Without them, lighting and figuring out camera movies would take so much longer and lead to more mistakes during filming because. Actors need to be "in it" for the performance and not stand around while we tweak stuff (which is also why we don't ask for photo set ups very often). So, here's 2nd team from "Instant Family" (featured first in this post)...and you can swipe to see the final shot. #instantfamily #smpsp #sonyprosupport #unitstills #sonyalpha #livethemoment #unitstillphotographer #movie #standins #actors 🎥:@brettsbo 📸: @hopper_stone

3 years ago, I was in Thailand working on @sympathizerhbo . We were out in the middle of nowhere in a quarry where our art department had built an incredible set of a re-education camp. One of the scenes we shot that day was what we lovingly called "Bon in the box" or "Fred in the box" (Bon is the character name played by the ever intrepid @frednguyenkhan . And when I say "in a box"...I mean literally in a box. I had to kneel and stick my trusty A9ii in the midst of everything. Tight...cramped...indescribably hot and more humid than summers in Rangoon...Fred never complained and gave his all in eerie scene of facing one's demons. The Sympathizer is in my top 5 jobs of my entire career. Thank you to @craigcalefate and the folks at HBO/Max for trusting me with this one. #unitstills #unitstillphotographer @sonyalpha #sonyprosupport #smpsp @smpspstills #thailand #thesympathizer #vietnam #thailand #spythriller 🎥: Ji-Yong Kim 📸: @hopper_stone

A HUGE thank you to @fabiolastevensonvo and @sebastianzancanaro for bringing me in for the English language dub of this wondering Spanish series, now streaming on @hulu
Fabiola is a wonderful director and amazing voice actor (she literally grew up in a recording studio). All the folks at @blu.digitalgroup are so great to work with. I feel so fortunate to have fallen in with these folks. #dubbing #voiceover #voiceactor #behindthemic #myotherjob

These 3 guys and this one eternal city have a birthday today. HBD to @iggypopofficial (whom I had the pleasure of photographing for a docu series about punk rock). Iggy was super cool and one of the most well spoken people (never mind musicians) I have ever met. Bright, insightful and wonderfully irreverent. Same goes out to @robriggle with whom I got to work on "Dumb and Dumber Too". When I was looking for photos to post for this, I was reminded how much we kind of beat the crap out of of Rob in all of the antics. And yes, here he is camouflaged as a vending machine. The 3rd is a headshot from a few years ago taken by the solid @filmstring (I needed headshots because...you know...I'm apparently an actor now too). And I was today years old when I learned that Rome has a birthday. (4/21/752 BC). I hope to age as gracefully as Rome. (Not pictured here also born on this day: Queen Elizabeth II, Charles Grodin, Andie McDowell, Tony Danza). #happybirthday

I'm not going to share what I looked like in the 90s, because I don't want to help Meta train their AI face recognition technology. But here's a selection of what I was doing in the 90s. Before I sold my soul to Hollywood...ahem, excuse me...started working as a unit still photographer, I was a photojournalist. Besides running around the world getting into trouble, I also shot my fair share of music. I've seen the 1st 3 songs of a LOT of bands. Here are a few of my favorites (and horizontals because they fit better on IG). 1) Robert Plant at Rock Am Ring in Germany. The photographers were all on a catwalk that was flush with the stage, so we had to kneel in front of the band so as to not block them. During the guitar solo, Robert Plant walked over to the group of 5 or 6 of us and squatted down to our level and gave each of us a few seconds. The journalist I was working with @ruokanenr told me that he's never seen a group of photographers leave a place with such large grins. 2) Judas Priest. Jäähalli, Helsinki. 1991 (I want to say?). 3) Sting. Jäähalli, Helsinki. Probably also around 1990. Fun fact: I bumped into him in the men's room in the waiting area. I was kind of shocked that the band didn't have their own facilities. 4) Suzanne Vega. Kulttuuritalo, Helsinki. 1990 5) Lenningrad Cowboys and The Red Army Choir. Senaatintori, Helsinki. 1994. It's pretty much impossible to explain The Leningrad Cowboys. But look them up. And yes, they played an outdoor concert in the center of Helsinki with the actual Red Army Choir (as in the choir of the Russian Army). Keep in mind that the USSR had only recently broken up and Finland has a turbulent history with that area of the world. Seeing this was just insane.
6) Midnight Oil. Ruisrock. Turku, Finland. 1990 7) Slowdive. Tavastia Klubi. Helsinki. 1992. #concertphotography #film #photojournalism #midnightoil #sting #suzannevega #slowdive #judaspriest #leningradcowboys

Some movies you do for the reel and some you do for the meal. "An American Pickle" was definitely one for the reel (and for the ages). I got a call and the production supervisor immediately told me, "Hopper. This is not a negotiation. This is what we have but it should be fun". He had me at "fun". If you haven't seen it, find it somewhere and check out this gem of a little movie where Seth plays his own great grandfather. I learned in this one that he is a much more layered and nuanced actor than perhaps people give him credit for. The entire shoot in #pittsburgh , we were a combination of cold, wet and muddy and I couldn't wait to get to work each day. It's a wacky comedy that asks, "If your immigrant ancestors could see what you did with their legacy, what would they think?". Wonderful script by Simon Rich and great direction by Brandon Trost. and I even got to spend a day hanging with my pal @jon_donahue_actorguy whom I met on "Captain Philips" #unitstills #sonyalpha #sonyprosupport #livethemoment #movie #unitstillphotographer #smpsp #sonypro 🎥: @johngules 📸: @hopper_stone

Some movies you do for the reel and some you do for the meal. "An American Pickle" was definitely one for the reel (and for the ages). I got a call and the production supervisor immediately told me, "Hopper. This is not a negotiation. This is what we have but it should be fun". He had me at "fun". If you haven't seen it, find it somewhere and check out this gem of a little movie where Seth plays his own great grandfather. I learned in this one that he is a much more layered and nuanced actor than perhaps people give him credit for. The entire shoot in #pittsburgh , we were a combination of cold, wet and muddy and I couldn't wait to get to work each day. It's a wacky comedy that asks, "If your immigrant ancestors could see what you did with their legacy, what would they think?".

One of the fun things that I get to do as a #unitstillphotographer is photos for the art department and props. I've shot my share of crime scene photos, surveillance photos, fake movie posters and, in this case, album covers. I did a movie with the legendary Al Pacino a ways backed called "Imagined". A wonderfully sweet movie directed by Dan Fogelberg about a sort of Neil Diamondesque character rediscovering himself after living for years on one hit. Seriously, check it out. So I got to do a photo shoot with Al making "Danny's" album covers. I was quite nervous, as Al was known to be a bit intense and very "method". Well, his character was all rock and roll, so he was rock and roll methoding. It was fun. This first image is from the last set we did. He started whipping the scarf around and you can see he's about to point in my direction. Then he started yelling "fire! fire!" and I responded, "Yeah Al! This is fire!". And he said, "No! something's on fire!" I turned around and saw that a small piece of material from my softbox had been in contact with the flashtube on my strobe and, yes, had caught on fire. Oops! Luckily it hadn't gone up completely in flames and we were able to stop any real disaster. That was the end of the photo shoot. I said to Al afterwards that it wouldn't be rock and roll without a pyro show! #movies #stories #photography #seenonset #behindthescenes

Congratulations to the people of #Hungary for coming together to resoundingly say "no" to authoratarianism, illiberal democracy and right wing populism. I shot these photos on March 15th, 1989 on my first big assignment for @helsinginsanomat kuukausiliite (the monthly sunday magazine). This was the first inkling of cracks in the Soviet controlled Eastern Bloc which eventually led to the fall of the Berlin Wall and The Soviet Union itself. 100 people on the streets, demonstrating...all while normal life (playing chess in the hot springs) and The government still trying to show some semblance of normality. I hope that this weekend's result is also the first crack in the wall of the fascist governments that have been popping up in our world and that the pendulum is slowly starting to swing back the other way. #magyar #photojournalism #democracy
