I am a documentary wedding photographer though my approach to photography has continued to evolve since my boutique business was created in 2009. Ever since I was given my first camera, I had an eye for seeing things differently. I can vividly remember that first camera too. It was a funny looking Kodak Ektralite 110 with a folding case that doubled as a handle.
Most of the photographs were either wonky or out of focus but nevertheless I loved that camera. In time, like most teenage boys my attention span waned and the camera soon lost favour to be quickly replaced by a Raleigh five speed racer, soul music and girls. Then came a career in television. St Martins has a serious reputation for training photography students from the ground up.
They teach all aspects of composition, how to shoot on film, to develop your own negatives, dark room printing, as well as learning how to use both artificial and available light. My photographic style was borne out of this classical training. I resigned from my high paying job and kissed goodbye to my 13th floor office with breathtaking views across the Thames to become a wedding photographer.
