And all of them want things done quickly, they want a good job, they don t want to sit around and wait, comments Iooss. To get them going, Iooss says you have to play along. Get a little banter going with them. And once you become more friendly with them, sometimes you can get a verbal barrage going when you shoot. And it becomes fun.
Athletes like to talk it up.
Just as a player prepares his head before a game, Iooss gets in the game mindset. It begins with a genuine love of sports. I don t see it as I once did, as someone who worships sports and the athletes. Iooss says he has no great philosophy when he gets into the mode, I just go into every shoot and try to take one great picture. When it comes to Michael Jordan, a great star and someone Iooss has shot often, there was always something in Iooss mind that he still wanted to capture.
