Podcast Episode 21: This is Valter Antunes
Delighted to be bringing you the fab Valter Antunes for episode 21 of the This is Reportage Podcast! Valter was ranked joint-second in our Top Photographers of 2019, with a remarkable haul of 12 Awards – including 4 Story Awards – during 2019. Stick with us today, as Valter talks about:
watching everything on Netflix,
how moments are always happening and how we should be finding them,
how he’s been a musician all his life,
how he transitioned to becoming a photographer,
his past busking life in London,
what makes him happy,
the work/life balance of being a wedding photographer and Dad,
time vs money,
why he switched from Canon to Sony,
his favourite lens,
how he gets his incredibly intimate captures of brides (and why he’s known by quite a few photograhers in Portugal as ‘the naked bride photographer’),
what’s been the most effective marketing tool(s) for him,
his specific Instagram tips,
what album he would take on a desert island,
how he misses being a kid and his childhood,
moving from Portugal to London when he was 12/13,
the story behind one of his specific Reportage Awards (the bride giving the finger),
his tips for improving our documentary work,
the importance of sleep,
why he always shoots with a second,
his fear of cats,
his nerves about talking at Inspiration Conference,
thinking about the future,
and more…
