But his camera work was always meant to be a supplement to his words. A writer who wanted to illustrate his stories\, Sean dove so deeply into image-making that he became a full-time freelance photographer and video producer. But the words are still his primary reason for shooting\, and he is still illustrating his own stories. Professionally\, Sean in the past year has shot Broadway hero Lin Manuel Miranda posing as Evita\, Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer drinking his favorite Bordeaux\, U.S. Senator Lisa Murkowski posing with a monster salmon\, while creatively filming his own ballet about a bird fighting the oil industry with musical instruments\, writing songs and composing music for a musical about Vincent van Gogh’s sister-in-law\, composing songs for a musical about the Grimm Brother Jakob’s life after his younger brother’s passing\, and writing a novel and theatre piece about Frankenstein author Mary Shelley. Twenty years as an accidental cameraperson has not erased his purpose as a writer\, and his talk at the IPS on November 14th is titled “Publish and Perish: Strategies for Remaining Relevant for Photographers in the 21st Century” and the brief talk will highlight the need for photographers to create stories for their photographs so those images can stand out in a society jammed with imagery. Sean’s most recent creative work can be seen in his imagining of fashion designer Alexander McQueen’s last days: “McQ\,” for which Sean wrote the music and lyrics\, and shot and edited the video at https://vimeo.com/284927859\, with the password “lee.”   \n \nEIC Guidelines: \nPlease upload up to three images max for the EIC competition to Dropbox\, in accordance with the IPS Competition Rules and EIC guidelines. Submission deadline: Saturday preceding the meeting date\, by 11:59pm (midnight). \nAll EIC images need to follow file naming conventions and include the photographer’s name\, image name\, and competition class (A or B). Images that do not adhere to the competition theme/rules\, submitted late\, and/or are not labeled properly will be automatically disqualified.
