One thing that really struck me about Snyder’s photos is how he is able to draw your eye to detail very quickly. You don’t have to study his pictures to notice that the two little boys holding trumpets are too small for their outfits: their ties are too long, their gloves are too big, and the hats nearly flop over in their eyes. There’s an awkwardness about the two—like they’re not grown-up enough to fulfill the job they’re doing—that is immediate. And that’s how his photos are: immediate, but detailed, they’re zingers. They get right to your heart.
Snyder is able to do what LaBelle does: hunt a photo. I like that he’s able to spell out what Snyder seems to so effortlessly produce. I especially liked how he highlighted "action and reaction" as a kind of shot- I hadn't thought of that, and it's one way to really "hunt" the emotion of a scene.
