p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · "Nightcrawler"- SE Los Angeles (mildly graphic)


Hi guys!

I haven't been too active on the forums as of late.

I know very few of your personally- so I wanted to introduce myself.

My name is John Lawrence.

I shoot video for news stations during the late hours around South East Los Angeles.

The movie, "Nightcrawler" was loosely based on my job of choice.


Anywho. Lately, I've become a bit bored of the video thing, so I started luggin' my d600 with me at work.

I pick one prime lens a night and see if I can tell the story.

I hope to update this thread with new pictures on a regular basis, but sometimes- stories are stacked up and I'm not able to shoot stills.

Stop by often and see what happens when the sun goes down!

Night 1:

26MAY2015

Camera/Lens combo: D600 | 135mm F2 DC.

One person was transported by Los Angeles County Fire in Bell Gardens after being struck by a vehicle. The victim was on his bike as it happened. Photos were taken after the paramedics cleared from the scene. The driver of the vehicle fled the scene after striking the man. I'm not sure whether he survived or not.

I agree....interesting topic!

I admire your challenge to yourself to tell the story via still frames versus video.

Look forward to seeing more!!

since it slowed down some, I can share some pictures from my training days.

PS- I'm still recording in video- however, if I've got time, I'll snap some pictures as well.

1FEB2014

A fire broke out after a heating retrofit at an old apartment complex near LAX. Nobody was hurt, the fire stayed within the walls of the structure.

NIkon D700 | 85mm 1.4D













- It was so close to the airport that LAX Police showed up to help with the containment.

BONUS IMAGES: Shortly after we rolled to a call pertaining an overturned vehicle. Not something that would normally make the news. I still took some shots nonetheless.





Thanks for looking guys!

Nope.

We have three photographers in the valley. You'll notice them at crime scenes in that area.

D600 | 135mm F2D DC

Asuza,CA- 1220AM. 3 People were shot, possibly within their home. I wasn't able to get any footage of them so it's a B-roll scene for me.

413AM Edit: (added in to reflect how a story changes as more details develop.

2 Teens were shot with one more injured due to flying glass. No suspect description as the kids did not see anyone prior to the shooting.



*the work rig

* Azusa PD was very understanding and professional at this scene.

D600 | 135mm f2D DC

Norwalk, CA

A man in his 20s was struck by a silver bmw just before a freeway interchange. It is unclear how the man got onto the freeway. He was pronounced dead at the scene by Los Angeles County firefighters. California Highway Patrol officers from the Santa Fe Springs Division is handling the investigation.

Photographer's notes: One of my harder scenes to photograph. I wasn't too far from where it happened. I arrived right behind the firefighters for this call. I was there when they pronounced him dead. It kinda hit me hard, hence no images from before the blanket was placed on him. My job is to tell the news, I don't need to show a dead body on television to do that.

images redacted. will be returned later.
