Inside the World of a Movie Set Photographer

For David Lee, work has long been a family affair. As a unit still photographer, the native New Yorker and younger brother of Spike has captured the making of nearly every Spike Lee joint, from the Oscar-winning director’s NYU shorts to Do the Right Thing to BlacKkKlansman—plus dozens of other American classics, like Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, The Bourne Ultimatum and more. Not to mention his own artistic portfolio.

Hopper Stone – Movie Story Recorder

(original article in Finnish)

The most important thing in the film is the story. So also in the photo that tells about it. In addition to these stories, Hopper Stone records film history.

Contacting Hopper Stone, a still filmmaker for films and TV series living in Los Angeles, produces an insane surprise: the answer to the interview request comes in fluent Finnish. The reason will soon become clear: the American Stone once lived in Finland for almost ten years.
