Have you ever noticed anything wierd progamers do before a game? Flash's twitching is well know, but other players? Some wierd rituals maybe? (Heard roumors about JD telling himself "I'm going to fucking kill him" over and over again before games)
Well, TheMarine mentioned that Boxer 'talks' to his units during game, and sometimes even swears (this was mentioned in one of the matches, forgot which), such as "Move, you fucking tank!" or stuff like that lol

If this was true it would not surprise me in the least. That face still gives me chills.

So who's your favorite player to shoot? (Don't answer backho, I know you have a fetish for him)
Do you consider some of the players in eSTRO (or any players for that matter) your personal friends? In that case who?
What was the wackiest photoshoot you've done so far? Stuff that went wrong etc.etc

It's usually split for me between a few people. I've really been enjoying shooting Park Jisoo (ForGG/Never V.) because despite how shy and uber polite he was to begin with he's more playful now and knows how to pose. Ma Jaeyoon is always a pleasure - he knows exactly what I want from him for every pose and he's cheerful and calming. I also like working with Sangho from eSTRO - he has good english skills and is very up-beat and funny. The best person by miles for projecting emotion into photos is newcomer Horang2.
I don't really see the players often enough to consider any of them proper friends. I do consider the eSTRO boys to be my doted-upon dongsaengs though. They call me nuna and we have a good laugh backstage. I tend to mainly talk with Suny, Puma and the lovable Sangho. They're lovely kids with great senses of humor.
The funniest one so far aside from the time I ran off holding Gorush's doughnuts hostage and yelling 'You can't eat them!' was when I shot Lee Yunyeol for the first time. I sat him down on a patch of grass and he pointed up to my camera as I raised it to shoot and said 'Dark, dark!' To my eternal shame and his amusement I'd left the lens cap on.... The only other thing that really springs to mind is the time Sungeun (Firebathero.) knocked over Frozean's drink at a shoot - I've never seen a gamer try to stop something from falling over with such tenacity.
Yes, Jaedong psyches himself up before each game. When I've gone up close beforehand during the 'setting' period as it's called when players enter the booth to prepare their equipment I can usually see him mumbling to himself. The best (bad pun...) example of this eccentric behaviour for me is Do Jaewook (BeSt) who has an obsessive need to touch his own hair. Once we saw him at a fan meeting bowing and shaking hands with his fans and after each bow he smoothed down his hair whether it needed it or not.

you have got to be one of the most interesting people on teamliquid.net who is lucky to be so involved in the starcraft scene. Thanks for writing this up so that regular people like me can get a good look at what's involved in getting all of the fantastic photos that you capture on a regular basis.

Yeah, in his last game before he joined the army (vs Silver on Tau Cross) when he bunker rushed the camera got on him and you could see he was talking, maybe something like "gogo marines" ^^
