What's your approach to photography?
I love how photographs capture timeless moments that words alone can’t fully describe. To me, honest moments matter. I like to keep my work simple, beautiful and truthful. I believe that in my small way I am making a difference in people’s lives, and that’s a huge privilege and responsibility.
How do you work with couples to get the tone and style they want?
It’s all down to good communication. That’s why I spend a lot of time to make sure couples understand my approach fully when they come to meet with me. My typical clients want fun, spontaneous photos without the moody feeling that comes with photojournalism.
What equipment do you usually work with?
As everyone else is chasing ever faster cameras, I am the odd one out who still shoots with manual vintage cameras and lenses. The world seen from the viewfinder of my vintage gear might be a little slower, a little prettier, but it brings me back to a time when we paid more attention when taking a photograph. It makes me value each shot more before clicking the shutter.
As for my engagement sessions, I shoot on analogue film. I love the authenticity, elegance and uniqueness that film brings in our digital era. There is a magic found in shooting film that is uniquely its own.
Tips for creating beautiful photos: Be relaxed. The couple should feel at ease and be their true selves. It’s never about the location; it’s all about the chemistry.
