Interview

  • Tout d’abord, qui pouvez-vous désigner meilleur photographe dans Norwich, Royaume-Uni ? :)

    There are some amazing wedding photographers in Sheffield catering to all styles and budgets, but the best wedding photographer is subjectively the one that clicks best with the wedding couple and works hard to tell the story of their day. I hope that could be me!

  • Êtes-vous photogénique ?

    No! Like many of my clients I echo the statement, "We hate having our photo taken!" For me it is about achieving a relaxed natural look, and I can only do that by chatting and laughing with my clients before I take their photographs. Everyone is photogenic and everyone has a visual story to tell – if I can capture something hidden within you ("love" maybe) then I will have captured a great image for you to treasure.

  • Comment avez-vous commencé à travailler dans la photographie ?

    I have been a keen photographer since winning a competition at the age of 14. As a grown up I shot for stock agencies and for fun until a family member asked me to take some 'extra' photos at their wedding in addition to their professional wedding photographer. Mine were at least as good and well received as the professional's and so I struck out offering my services for free until I felt confident enough to tackle a wedding for money. Over 100 weddings later I have a strong and successful wedding photography business.

  • Selon vous, quels sont les éléments les plus importants d'une bonne photo ?

    Light, composition, natural moments, minimal posing, a story to tell.

  • Aimez-vous voyager ?

    Yes. I have travelled all over the world.

  • Quel aspect de votre profession préférez-vous ?

    I love the speed and quick thinking required when photographing a wedding. There is a massive sense of achievement in producing images that couples love without spending a huge amount of time, sometimes none at all, planning and executing them.

  • Quel aspect de votre profession aimez-vous le moins ?

    I hate selling, but it is a necessary evil of the business. I would rather just shoot weddings!

  • Quel est le futur de la photographie ?

    Pretty much the same as it is now. Technology will change, but it isn't the thing that makes wedding images.

  • Qu'est-ce que le style de photographie dans lequel vous travaillez a de spécial ?

    Interpersonal relationships with clients. A wedding photographer is a friend, a counsellor, an assistant, a go-between, and a photographer.

  • Comment gérez-vous les critiques ?

    Professionally on the outside, badly on the inside. It depends what the criticism is though – anything deserved makes me stop and think, and change and grow where necessary.

  • Y a-t-il des modes dans la photographie ?

    Yes, but you don't have to follow them!

  • Quels devraient être les critères pour qu'un client choisisse un photographe ?

    The personality of the wedding photographer and whether or not they like their images. Always meet for a chat and ask to see real weddings – in my opinion you should steer clear of photographers that just show images from styled shoots or portfolio building workshops as the real skill is in producing images in the pressure situation of a real wedding.

  • Quels sont les interdits lors des photographies ?

    I have witnessed other photographers being divas and shouting at or belittling wedding couples and their guests.

  • Quels détails seul un photographe peut-il remarquer ?

    Hidden hand holds, fleeting expressions, laughing children – too many to list. Details like rings and flowers are obvious and should be covered as a matter of course.

  • Qu'est-ce qui influence la valeur d'une photo ? Quels en sont les éléments ?

    A truly valuable image tells a story. A great photo will do this with perfect composition, focus, exposure and subtle editing.

  • Qui aimeriez-vous prendre en photo ?

    I love shooting everybody.

  • Avez-vous des tabous professionnels ?

    No.

  • Avec qui aimeriez-vous faire une séance photo ?

    Annie Liebowitz.

  • Quel a été le moment le plus impressionnant de votre vie ?

    The birth of my daughter.

  • Qui vous inspire dans votre vie et pourquoi ?

    My wife is my art critic and muse.

  • Comment définissez-vous le succès ? Comment le mesurez-vous ?

    Happy clients.

  • Préférez-vous être aimé ou respecté ?

    Respected.

  • Quelle méthode utilisez-vous pour améliorer vos prises de photo ?

    Constant practice and collaborative critique.
