Interview with Glenn Capers

Glenn Capers is more than just an outstanding photographer, he’s a storyteller. Glenn has a personable way with his subjects that allows him to really get to know them and find out their story. Perhaps that is what makes his work special.

Glenn is originally from New York, though he now calls Colorado home. In the past, Glenn was a professional photojournalist, cinema and landscape photographer, and he even took photographs for the Associated Press. Now, he spends much of his time traveling and teaching street photography and journalism around the world.

Glenn believes that to be a good photographer, you need more than just the right techniques and a good camera. Instead, Glenn talks to his subjects. More importantly, he listens to them. He feels that when people are given the chance to tell their story, they validate their reason for living. For this noble reason, Glenn meets people, talks to them, visits their homes, and captures their moments. Connecting with people, and freezing those important moments in time to share a person’s story with the world is not just his goal, it’s his specialty.

Glenn was kind enough to take some time to speak with us here at SPM. He shared some interesting experiences and stories, as well as some insight into his methods as a street photographer.

Glenn is an award winning (Olympus Award for Landscape Photography, John F Kennedy Award, Leica Medal of Excellence for outstanding achievement in humanistic photojournalism, Region 10 NPPA, Sony—Best Short Film, Sporting News—Best News Feature, LACC—First Place Portfolio, Academy Film Society—6 honorable mentions with 5 entries) photographer with over 25 years of experience in varied settings. Capers began his career as a photo-journalist, then went on to cinematography and film shorts, landscape photography, event coverage and documentary photography. Capers currently teaches photography workshops to those that want to learn more about street photography. My philosophy: I've come to realize that my art has diversity within a powerful individual vision that chronicles the life of people who draw me into their lives to tell their stories and to validate their reason for living. My attraction to story telling grew as my life developed behind a camera. I discovered that it's not how a photographer looks at the world that is important, it is his relationship with his fellow human beings. Through photography these moments of connectivity are frozen in time for all to see. I believe the last thought for the photographer is "Whatever you look to see outside, is waiting inside you.”
