Photojournalist Natalie Guillén speaking at a workshop on Monday in Albuquerque.

Speaking in Albuquerque on Tuesday, photojournalist Natalie Guillén explained that getting a great shot isn’t about luck. It’s about patience.

Guillén offered SPJ members and friends plenty of other good advice. The discussion ranged from how to put people at ease and “capture the moment” to the ethics of running photos of dead bodies in newspapers and the absolute importance of credibility.

Those living in southern New Mexico are in for a treat—Guillén will be down there on May 1, offering another three-hour workshop at the Convention Center. RSVP to jgrimm@sfnewmexican.com.
