I interviewed @HelenStills, who has been the main #GameofThrones photographer since its FIRST pilot (the Tom McCarthy one) about some of her favorite images. She has shot a LITERAL million pictures of the show. We talked for a long time. Here you go! https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/kateaurthur/game-of-thrones-set-photography-helen-sloan …
Throughout its eight seasons, Game of Thrones has featured a ton of plots — like, literally, a ton. There have been epic battles (including between the dead and the living); there have been weddings (Red and otherwise); and there have been dramatic shifts among characters vying for power — over the realm, and over one another. Its scale has been huge, raising the ante for fantasy dramas on television — and in movies — for the foreseeable future.And Helen Sloan, Game of Thrones' principal stills photographer, has documented it allWith the show's production over, Sloan has been putting together the book The Photography of Game of Thrones, a compilation of her work that will be published in September. The process has caused her to realize the show's scope, and her part in it, which she called "surreal." Sloan curated 12 of her favorite photographs from Game of Thrones, and talked to BuzzFeed News about them. (Presented in almost chronological order.)Ned Stark in "Cripples, Bastards, and Broken Things" The context: "I think that that's when Arya comes in to see him in his study, I'm pretty sure that's the episode, but I'm actually can't remember because it was, you know, a long time ago." (The image wasn't in HBO's digital library, so they didn't know either — tell us in the comments if you have a better guess than that episode! It may be from that same episode, but before Cersei comes to talk to Ned?)The photograph: "As the first big, famous actor that I was going to work closely with, I think Sean really spoiled me, because he is such a fatherly kind of man," Sloan said. "And he really just lets you do your job. He's very quiet; he's very stoic. And I think I'm so glad that it was him and not some, like, wild diva type character that would have just brought me to tears.""I love that image of him because he's just in the moment," Sloan continued. "I love images of the crew working around an actor, because it always makes me think of that analogy of the beehive — that we're inside the beehive, and all the worker bees are just getting on with their jobs. I just love watching those little moments of all the busy bees around the actor to make sure they're perfect before the camera rolls."
He's very quiet; he's very stoic.
