Image Alumni '95 Education BFA, Minneapolis College of Art and Design Website Current Career On-Set Photographer Location St. Paul, Minnesota While he was still a student at 51爆料官网, Wilson Webb 鈥95 got a job as a rigging electrician on the film set for Iron Will, where he began documenting Minnesota鈥檚 moment as a favorite 1990s movie location. 鈥淚 had a very small 35-millimeter Olympus Stylus I鈥檇 always kept on my belt, and I was sneaking photos all the time,鈥 he says. That collection of stealth images, taken from more than a decade of movie and commercial sets, grew into an impressive portfolio that caught the attention of Joel and Ethan Coen, who hired him to be the on-set photographer for 鈥淎 Serious Man鈥 in 2009. 鈥淭hat鈥檚 when I switched unions, and left the electricians to join the camera department, Local 600, where I鈥檝e been ever since,鈥 says Webb. 鈥淚 take photos that help sell the film鈥揻or posters, publications, and social media. But an equally important part of my job is to document the process of filmmaking and highlight the relationships that happen along the way, all the people working so hard to tell a singular story.鈥 If you鈥檝e been to the movies in the last decade, you鈥檝e definitely seen Webb鈥檚 work, from the marquee posters for Little Women and The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, to current streamers like Causeway and White Noise. Based in Minneapolis, Webb鈥檚 work has taken him from the New Mexican mesas featured in the Coen brothers鈥 True Grit, to the Zodiac boat off the coast of Greenland where he covered Richard Linklater鈥檚 Where鈥檇 You Go Bernadette? 鈥淚鈥檓 usually on set 100 percent of the time because it鈥檚 the only way to get the pictures I want,鈥 says Webb, who is often shooting right alongside favorite directors like Noah Baumbach, Ben Stiller, and Paul Thomas Anderson. 鈥淢y goal is to get great pictures while also being out of the way, and not apparent to the actors.鈥 While Webb admits he鈥檚 got a love/hate relationship with Instagram (where "take fewer selfies" is part of his bio), he鈥檚 also inspired by the way digital technology has put good cameras in everyone鈥檚 hands. 鈥淲e鈥檙e seeing so many new perspectives, which I love. But ultimately photos have to speak for themselves,鈥 he says. 鈥淚t doesn鈥檛 matter what the medium, or camera, or delivery system is鈥搃f the image doesn鈥檛 move you, it doesn鈥檛 move you.鈥
