Photography
There is no perfect photograph,
just a perfect moment.
~Joe Buissink
The photographers I've been inspired from covers a selection of artists whose work I admired first in the commercial side and then those I've discovered after becomming a wedding photographer.
This mixed background has led to an unusual mixture of influences into who I am as a wedding photographer. Typically about 80% of the day I'm in wedding photojournalist mode. Maybe another 10% traditional for the family formals. Then for the last 10%, if we have time of course, some fashion inspired romantic shots with the couple.
In the early days of my career is was people like Henri Cartier-Bresson for their street photography. Richard Avedon for their amazing fashion. Joe McNally and David Hobby for their use of light.
But when I got into weddings and was looking for something to inspire me and find a different direction to take my wedding photography in, well that's when I stumbled up the likes of Joe Buissink and Jeff Ascough, both of whom took my breath away with inspiration and just the realization that there was an amazing way to shoot a wedding and tell an amazing story.
