This Is How: ‘All Hands On Dress’ by Andy Griffiths
Delighted to have Andy Griffiths on the site today, taking us behind the scenes of his recent Reportage Award from Collection Seven. Really interesting insights into how and why Andy tells his couples how he works, composition and looking for those different angles, and just why he loves this capture…thanks so much, Andy!
This Is How: ‘Smokin’ Grandpa & The Furious 3′ by Christoforos Mechanezidis
Honoured to have Christoforos Mechanezidis on the site today, telling us exactly how he captured this Reportage Award from Collection Six. This is a fantastically detailed piece, with Rossi going into real depth about his thought process and technique, including lots of great insights into observation, intuition, and much more…thanks so much, Rossi!
This is Franck Boutonnet – Collection Eight Judge
Very excited to announce the first of our five judges for Collection Eight: The brilliant Franck Boutonnet! Hailing from France and taking his inspiring documentary wedding photography all over the world, it’s a real honour for us to have Franck casting his expert eyes over our Reportage Award and Story Award entries for Collection Eight (deadline for submissions: 23:59 GMT on 24th March 2019).
Story Award by Valter Antunes / Collection Seven
Story Awards: One of the things we really wanted to do with This is Reportage was to make it not *only* be about those individual fantastic captures – although celebrating brilliant single moments is still something we love to do (hence our Reportage Awards), we think it’s so important to also recognise and celebrate the skill and artistry of storytelling; of consistent and creative wedding coverage.
That’s why we have our Story Awards, which are for a series of 15 – 20 images from a single wedding – all of which, as always with us, are natural captures. Winning one of these is incredibly tough, with just the top 5% of submissions becoming Story Awards in Collection Seven (view all of Collection Seven here).
