Louie Psihoyos And “The Singing Planet”

3 October 2011 10:39 AM, PDT | Filmmaker Magazine - Blog | See recent Filmmaker Magazine news »

Louie Psihoyos started out as a still photographer for National Geographic. He won an Oscar for his first feature length documentary: The Cove, which took an unflinching look at the slaughter of dolphins in Japan. He is now starting work on his next film, The Singing Planet, which will be shot underwater using extraordinary sound recording advances. He took a moment to talk with me about his films and his work as an enviromentalist.

Filmmaker: How did you get interested in still photography? How did you start working as a photographer?

Psihoyos: I loved making art when I was a kid. I think that’s what got me into still photography, that I could make instant art. When you are drawing or painting it can take days or weeks to make a piece of artwork, but with photography you could do it relatively instantly. I drew birds. I drew wildlife. »
