Take Alison’s Challenge
Alison Conklin is a professional wedding and editorial photographer who has spent her career chasing a desire to document genuine moments that feature real people
The Art of Curiosity
Practice the art of curiosity by finding one to three people who you don’t know very well (maybe an acquaintance or co-worker) and taking them out for coffee. Ask questions, listen and try to find out what makes them unique. Once you feel comfortable, join the conversation on social media using #MyFujifilmLegacy
Challenge: The Art of Seeing
To truly see a person, you also have to listen. Go find someone, anyone, preferably someone you don’t know too closely — a willing acquaintance. Take them to coffee or somewhere comfortable where you can practice the art of listening: Be curious, ask questions, and pay attention.
Can you figure out their desires? What makes them unique? If you need a jumping-off point, use these interview questions as a conversational starter kit. Once you feel comfortable, create an image with your new friend, and share a unique characteristic that you found on social media with #myfujifilmlegacy to join the conversation.
Desire:
What do you want to do, create, or experience more than anything else?
What is a common theme that runs throughout your interests or career?
What do you want (in the next year, in your job, in life, etc.)?
What is the one thing that you’ve never done but have always dreamed of doing?
What single thing is most important to you?
What’s the greater impact you hope to create?
Uniqueness:
What single thing makes you the most proud?
How do you differ from others in your work?
What’s something that no one has in common with you?
If we asked your friends, what is one thing they’d say is most different about you?
Name three separate words that describe what makes you truly unique.
When meeting someone new, what will they notice about you most?
Alison Conklin
Alison Conklin is a professional wedding and editorial photographer who has spent her career chasing a desire to document genuine moments that feature real people. Growing up in a family of avid photographers, Alison always held a love for image-making. However, after losing her mother when she was a teenager, it became much more. Back then, a shoe box full of her mother’s photographs helped her to process her loss. Ever since, she has worked to create the same deep connection for others to embrace in the images she makes of their loved ones.
