CSME members and guests gathered at the historic Arts and Letters Club on November 26th to hear veteran Canadian photographer Peter Bregg explain how to use pictures to make a good story great.
Among his tips for capturing great photos: Develop relationships with your subjects; be prepared to deal with difficult ones; make sure they’re relaxed; and don’t be afraid to experiment with lighting or props.
Images of Pierre Trudeau doing one-handed push ups, retired Canadian general Romeo Dallaire standing before a sea of human skulls and a partially dressed Madonna flashed on a screen before Bregg spoke, highlighting his illustrious and diverse career. He began taking photographs 44 years ago, when he was hired as a copy boy for The Canadian Press. At 19, he trailed Trudeau around Canada before going on to cover the Vietnam War, Iran hostage crisis and eventually work at Macleans and Hello!
Today, Bregg is a freelance photographer and instructor in photojournalism at Ryerson University.
