John Wick, Super-Assassins, And Photography f/91

The Stop Down Photography Podcast

I have a confession - I really enjoy assassin movies. You know those movies where the protagonist is a highly-skilled, ultra-focused, near infallible villain. Maybe it’s a guilty pleasure - or an excuse to eat popcorn.

On my return flights from the Oregon Coast, I rewatched some of the John Wick films. I also saw one of my favorites, The Hitman, again recently. That got me wondering… why do I like these movies so much?

Well… as you might guess, the answer has an intersection with my photography. Four connections, actually.

Disciple and rigor

Knowing your gear

Improvising in the field

Revealing the unseen world

Intrigued? Have a listen to this episode of The Stop Down Photography Podcast and see how much these connections ring true for you.

And if you are in the mood for an assassin movie now, here are a few of my favorite super-assassin films:

The Jason Bourne movies (Amazon)

The John Wick movies (Amazon)

The Hitman (Amazon)

Pitch Black / The Chronicles Of Riddick / Riddick (Amazon)
