I sat down with Photojournalist Evan Vucci to discuss his historic photo of the assassination attempt on Donald Trump. He breaks down what was going through his mind while the scene was unfolding in front of him. We discussed what Sony gear he was using, along with how he was able to transmit his images.

That was a great interview!
It was with a real working PHOTOJOURNALIST and how he does his actual work for Associated Press. It takes a different set of skills under wide -anging conditions- to capture the news stories.
Jared, this is something I am pleasantly surprised to view!There are new cameras, yes… and the embargo has been lifted and everyone pretty much puts out the same story.
Another $4000 or $6000 camera.
But HOW a photographer gets to use the camera equipment- out in the field … that’s a rarity.
And what Jared does like no one else… he can educate the audience with this great information! It’s worth a watch!
👍⭐️👌
“If you try capturing everything, you’ll capture nothing”. Love it.
Putting aside all political tension, that photo is superb in every aspect of photography
Jared puts too much attention on that case
Photography is easy when you put your camera at actors and a staged scene
@@chuckmorton8823Mate, you're a melt.
@@chuckmorton8823take your medication
"I'm in charge of the camera, the camera is not in charge of me."
He’s not in manual focus
@@dirtysouthtiger In my opinion, insinuating that a failure to use manual focus negates his claim that "I'm in charge of the camera..." is a straw-man argument and a false dichotomy. One can be in charge of a something (in this case a camera) without having to have complete 100% control over everything it does at all times. For example, we feel we are in charge of our car even though the automatic transmission selects the best gear for every speed. But at a certain point-and that point is different for different people-the level of automation crosses a line into 'I'm no longer in charge'. Apparently for the photographer in this video, that line includes things like auto iso and advanced AI AF tracking, but does not include traditional AF. Me? I could not live without auto iso...
Great interview, Jared! Thank you Evan for taking the time to stop by.
Your questions were great as well! Thanks so much, Jared, you covered so much ground most of us would have never thought of, but when you asked, the lightbulb went off in our head!
thanks!!!
SO PROUD of YOU Jared for scoring the interview!! And you met the moment and then some!! Keep it up!!
the photographer and former photojournalist in me is going wild right now. Love this.
Evan Vucci looks like a gem waiting to be mined and wow, what a find! A classical photojournalist who is true to his trade. The education, the grind, the fitness, gear, the discipline, and putting it all together to create historic pics! That's just incredible. Thank you Jared, this is such an awesome interview!
Thank you for making this happen. Was waiting to hear a conversation like this!!
We need more content like this. Sports, wildlife, politics etc.... the story behind the shot
Anyone else get John Cena vibes when first saw him……..
my thoughts exactly
You know something bro? Your right.... he does favor him! Now I must go watch a John Cena movie.... lol.
He looks exactly like the secret service dude that's looking at the camera 💀💀💀
100% ❤
Technically it's possible all set of events were just a coincidence, including him being "brave" taking photos during live shooting. Just like it's possible that you win a lottery when you buy a ticket, and next time next time you have same chance to win it again... yet how plausible is it, as mathematical probability is not your ally
As a former news photographer, I loved every second of this. Thanks for bringing some attention to these amazing guys & gals, they’re the toughest in the business. Congrats to Evan for capturing this absolutely amazing image.
I'm betting this interview won't be appreciated up until 50 years from now. I remember TIME magazine saved by my grandfather. This interview should be saved in a TIME CAPSULE for future generations to appreciate the enormity and significance of the event, the period, and iconic image captured. Awesome and Noble work Jared and Evan. God bless you both. The world is watching.🇺🇸🇳🇿🇵🇭
Jared, this was the most awesome interview ever. A photographer sharing technique and discussing how he performs his job was really interesting. He was really open about the event and how he performed his job. Great job!
An iconic photo regardless of politics.🇺🇸
Wonder why Time magazine didn’t see it that way 😢
I love that he's into fitness and photography. And also that he's an older photographer. He does great work. Good interview!
Amazing interview, thank you, Jared. This has been the best real-life review of photography, showing us the reality behind this historic moment. Also, thank you to Evan for his humble way of speaking and teaching us how to work as a photojournalist at his level. This is something that you can't find in any university or class. It's a real masterclass on how his job works.
I thoroughly enjoyed watching that interview! Thanks Jared.
That sony transmitter bit is probably the best product endorsement you could ever get
What is it called???
Thanks for setting this up, it was super insightful to listen to. You did a great job hosting the interview!
Brilliant interview. Did you have to prime him to mention your physique 😂
Next Level!!!!!! Thank you Evan and Fro!. This is why the photography community is so amazing!
Great Interview. Jared you conducted this like a pro. Evan was such a great humble guest with a clear passion for his job
That photo is absolutely historic and iconic! It’ll go into the history books!
Thank you Jared for this great interview! God bless you brother!
Awesome been waiting for this interview!! Great job Jared!! 👏👏👏
Favorite CZcams video of all time. Thanks for making this happen Jared.
I agree.... this is one of Jared best videos. It needs to go viral for sure!
Fantastic interview, thank you for bringing us this kind of content, you can't find it anywhere else.
Next, I'd love to know the story behind Doug Mill's iconic shot -- what was going on that he had his shutter speed so fast as to catch and freeze a speeding bullet!? 🤯
Awesome. 🎉 thank you for a perspective that no one else will provide
Great interview ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Evan Vucci: "I shoot my motor at um....6 frames per second or 8n frames per second"
Me shooting with my 5D mark IV: 😁
Great interview, Jared!! Thank you for getting this.
I'm going to be late for work, but the more I listened to Jared's interview with Evan the more I wanted to listen. An amazing, but totally down to earth hard working fellah.
I was really chuffed to hear that the does not feel that the camera should 'take over'. Refreshing!
This is why Jared makes some of the best content on CZcams. Not even limited to photography. Just flat out amazing interview.
Great interview!
This is without a doubt better than any gear review on this channel. Grt video fro !.
Absolutely awesome interview!
Outstanding interview!! Great job all. Btw, Sony has had face priority registration for a long time. I've used it on every event. Canon finally caught up.
Sony had it 8yrs ago. Im really surprised they dont use it with a button to select or override. Also mr. Polin should know
@@frank-in-toronto Me too. I have it on MY MENU so I can get to it quickly.
Great interview
This is why I follow you and listen to every Podcast! Only a Photographer could pull off an interview like this!! Thanks to Both of you and Steven TOO!!!
Jared - thank you for getting this interview for us! This was fantastic
Amazing interview. Thank you.
Great interview and insights. Interesting point about slowing down when things are happening so fast. I can relates to that in a very small way. It is good to know that's the right way rather than I am being slow. Thank you both for a great conversation about photography.
Thank you so much, Jared, for the amazing video!!!
Thanks for this interview! I’ve followed Evan for a while so this was really cool to get an inside look!
This whole interview is crazy good ! thank you!
His workflow is awesome. And compared to the old times aka 5-7 years ago this is brutal fast.
AP does not deserve this guy.
Well, humanity needs him to take the photographs AP would rather not report on. Evan and great photographers like him is the check and balance to biased media and Jared is the voice in the desert.
Great to see a real photographer showing how it's done. This interview shows just how unimportant the majority of modern technological improvements is to the actual photography.
And above all else, what a really nice modest man.
One of the best interviews ever. It's not about photography. It's about life's journey, work and opportunities. Dedication, focus, professionalism and plain old hard work over a lifetime leading to the ability to execute in the moment. However the journey continues, and it is always about the next day.
Wonderful interview Jared thank you for setting it up... it just amazes me how technology has leapt forward in such a short space of time..
My first political assignments (in Europe for Reuters in the early 80's) I was rushing off to develop and transmit a B&W print. We morphed from making B&W, then Colour prints on the road (usually in a hotel bathroom) through various colour neg scanners, Leafax, Hasselblad Dixel and Macintosh PC's..
By the early 2000's we were sending from a laptop and a mobile phone from the site.. I had a great series of publications with a Pope shot because I had a Canon DCS1 camera and a GSM phone.. Now you can transmit from the camera.. it's mental.. The essence has not changed, and how Evan covered the assignment is really how we used to do it. He is obviously a real pro... I'm guessing Doug Mills, who I met several times on assignments when he was at AP, will know & have experienced exactly what I did in those days (he's actually 2 years older than me). except he is now there with the 2024 tech.. Hats of to him and to Evan for an an image that will become iconic..
I do think you photographers should be able to make some royalties from your imagines.... even a small percent, and also be allowed to use the photo yourself. Thanks for your great comment here!
He needs to teach a cross fit photography class.
Thanks Evan and Jared for doing this interview
Jared, Thank you for making this interview happen. I really enjoyed the story telling. You're awesome like always.
Awesome interview Jared! You both stuck to the world of photojournalism and it did not get political. Incredibly insightful. Thank you.
Another question would be how Evan keeps himself informed about politics so that his photos make sense.
Incredible insight into how some of the technology, photo composition, and logistics of photography impacts news that affects all of us.
Great story. I was glad that they were able to meet with you and us, your audience. Maybe, going forward, two or three times a year, invite someone else like this to tell us ‘their story.’ I learned a lot. Thanks again.
great interview!!! What a cool person, no ego, but clear what he does and how.
No "look what I can do and do", but clearly explains what his job is and also see how Evan enjoys his job.. almost seems like a hobby..
we need some more of this real time, real working photographers. interviews
I'm glad he knew there was an SUV for the emergency, clearly the secret service didn't. Did you hear her say "what do we do next?"
This was incredible brother. Thank you
Great interview!!! Thanks for sharing
That's a great interview, Fro. I always found that photographers who get those kind of images all have one thing in common: they have the access to the event that others do not. There were four photographers in the pit that day in Penn. And I agree, to work that kind of schedule Evan works, being in good physical condition goes a long way.
Superb interview, so valuable to gain an insight from two top pros. Would love more videos like this if at all possible!
It’s impressive how Doug mills was so quick moving and directing basically the other Photographers
It’s a great skill to be able to sit back and let the guest talk when you have to do all the talking and heavy lifting on your regular videos. Well done Jared
Great interview, thank you!
I have that photo hanging on my wall already. It was an amazing photo. I would love to get a signed photograph from Evan Vucci. I consider that image to be right up there with the photo of Iwo Jima taken by Joe Rosenthal!
AMEN!!!!!!!
Great interview, I like the part when Evan said the the camera is a tool and he turns down the frame rate, so he can be situational aware (exactly). It kind of drives me crazy about the talk, how many frames a camera can shoot per sec. Timing is more important because we can focus on what we need to photograph. It kind of reaffirms my feelings about setting the camera up and a focused mindset, for sports and photo journalism. I started off in the 1980s, and shooting hockey with strobes in the rafters, in rinks in 2000s. Camera's only had up to iso 800 back then. Using several Paull C Buff 1600s had a three second recycle time 20 years ago. That Sony transmitter is great. And this is one of your best interviews.
You’re a great interviewer. Great questions and fascinating interview
That interview was perfect. I loved every minute of it! Awesome!!!!!!
Thanks Jared and Evan for this amazing interview. As a photographer i was watching video after the attempt on President Trump with my eye on the photographers .
This is incredible Jared. I mean on another level hitting on so many aspects of what you and he does. Great questions and technique too. I learned so many new things. So amazing, thank you.
This was great. More of these interviews with working photojournalist would be awesome.
That was an awesome play by play he gave.
Such a GREAT interview! Thank you Jared and Evan!
Really very informative. Thanks for this fascinating interview, Jared! 😊👍
Congrats to Evan for top tier situational awareness as well as being absolutely yoked
Jared thank you for organizing and doing this interview. Blown away by this event and this photographer, and his iconic shot. Very inspiring. I would love it if you could get Anna Moneymaker on the show, personally I found her image equally stunning. Again, thank you. Amazing stuff.
This was a fantastic interview. Jared, I commend you for inviting Evan and getting this story out there. This image means a lot to me and I think it’s incredible to hear about the behind-the-scenes recount of one of the most iconic images in American history.
Marvelous interview! Jared, it is really amazing that you got Evan on the other side of the link so soon. It was very interesting to hear behind the sceen story of journalist photographers of such level and to understand how the assasination attempt looked like from photographers' perspective.
Great video!
I just travelled to the moment just by watching the photo!! what a photo that was!! I was pumped up just by watching this interview, you can imagine how much they went through on the spot!! Hats off man. Special Thank you Jared for this interview.
Great interview! Thanks for bringing Evan on.
Jared, thanks so much for this remarkable and insightful interview into the world of a talented and humble AP photojournalist.
Fascinating interview. Thanks.
A great insight to the life of a dedicated photojournalist…who happened to document a very historical moment.
wow great interview ... Thanks very much for sharing
Outstanding!
That’s a really powerful interview. I wasn’t expecting that.
You're sooo good with interview´s! Love it!
Evan writes on his Instagram about the settings "All shot with a Sony a9iii with a 24-70 lens, and another Sony a9iii with a 70-200 lens. All the exposures are around ISO 160 F 2.8 at 1/4000" That iconic shot looks to be using the 24-70mm lens just based on the footage of him doing it.
Super interesting!! Great interview. Actually listened to all 42 mins of this 😅
What an inspiring episode ! What a humble good hearted sweet person Evan is. I enjoyed every moment. stark reminder that 6 frames per second should be enough ! And I''d love to learn more on all these new transmitters! an episode dedicated to that will be amazing! Great Job Evans and Jared 👏🤍
Really well done, Jared.
Nice summary of the moment. "Where's the light? What's my exposure? Where's he going? What am I doing?"
Having that new global shutter is the only reason that photo with the bullet was even possible. Crazy.
Thanks for sharing this, so helpfully tells the story of how the image was made
Thank you Jared for giving us great content!
