June 24, 2013: Still Photographer Clay Enos Talks "Man of Steel"

Clay Enos worked as the Still Photographer on "Man of Steel", having worked with Zack Snyder on previous films. He spoke with JunsuiFilms.com about the experience, which photos were his favorites, and the secrecy surrounding the movie for so many months. Here are a few excerpts from the interview...

Q: How did the intense level of secrecy and expectation that surrounded the project compare to your previous films?

I haven't worked on a movie that hasn't been extremely secretive. It was slightly more intense than usual, but since it's fairly easy for me to keep a secret, this was a non-issue. The editor and I have the entire film's secrets on our hard drives. It behooves us to be discreet.

Q: Throughout the shoot how conscious were you that your photos would offer the first public glimpse of the film?

I'm always aware of that. The first image of Supes against the safe was set up just for me. The "leaked" images of Clark shirtless were mine that were made to look like paparazzi images. It's part of the fun of being a movie still-photographer. I don't need to tell you that still images have remarkable power and flexibility, more so than a teaser trailer, so I'm honoured to have that early and lasting role.
