Noah Berger has been photographing events in Northern California for The Associated Press for nearly 25 years. For more than a decade, he has chronicled the wildfires that have devastated the region, winning awards for his unflinching images. Here’s what he had to say about this extraordinary photo.
Flames consume a garage as the Thompson Fire burns in Oroville, Calif., Tuesday, July 2, 2024. An extended heat wave blanketing Northern California has resulted in red flag fire warnings and power shutoffs.
For more than a decade, he has chronicled the wildfires that have devastated the region, winning awards for his unflinching images. A lot of fire coverage also involves following weather — most notably wind and humidity - as well as an area’s topography and fire history. During fire season, there are typically 5-10 new wildfires starts each day but, thankfully, few grow into large-scale events that take homes or lives. Effectively covering fire means being able to predict which blazes will become major incidents and reaching those locations fast.
In terms of camera equipment, I use fewer lenses and accessories than during other types of assignments. I tend to stick with two camera bodies, with a zoom lens on each, rather than using the assortment of prime lenses I favor for other assignments. Minimizing gear lets me adapt to extremely fast-changing conditions and focus on the scene in front of me rather than techniques.
