We asked New York-based photographer Gregg Delman about the differences between shooting for print and online: ‘With online publications, the layouts are very specific. You need to shoot and crop to fit a specific box on the web page. With print, you have a bit more freedom. Editors are willing to layout there text around your images as long as its within reason. Also, there is a lot less time given for online shoots. All the MTV.com shoots have been done in a 9 x 10 foot office space with fifteen minutes max’. There’s a full interview with Gregg Delman at the Feature Shoot website.

Picture meets name, and they all live happily ever after in Sam Taylor-Wood’s piece, Escape Artist. Her simplicity is her genius. She was the mastermind behind Elton John’s video with Robert Downey Jr, singing of wanting Love, and she was commissioned by the National Portrait Gallery to make a video of David Beckham sleeping. If I were to investigate the essence of ‘viewers delight’, it would be defined as ‘up-grading to simplicity’. Sam Taylor Wood’s work relishes in this idea.
