Story telling is a personal passion ... it gives purpose to my photography. I am fascinated by my role as a wedding photographer.
I know that in essence I get to recount a story for a couple. This story is personal and meaningful. It is not laden with special effects. It is a personal truth, possibly glamorised, but still a truth and definitely personal.
I came across this, which is part of a collection of short videos about a photographer/teacher, Dave LaBelle, who puts it all into perspective.
Dave LaBelle | The Lesson from Francis Gardler on Vimeo.
There are a whole series of these and they are all worth a look ... he never even seems to mention the word wedding.
Cheers
