This Is How: ‘Crocodile At The Crossroads’ by Alexander Ziegler
A real pleasure to have the fab Germany-based This is Reportage member Alexander Ziegler on the site today, telling us how he got this striking dancefloor capture. As always with our ‘This is How…’ pieces, there are some fantastic tips and insights shared, including exploring the world from different perspectives, embracing light and shadows, imagination, and Alexander’s use of monochrome mode on his cameras….thanks so much, Alex!
This Is How: ‘My Marshmallow’ by Alexis Jaworski
We absolutely adore our ‘This is How…’ pieces by our This is Reportage members; the way they share their insights and advice into such exceptional moment-capturing is just brilliant! Today is no exception, and it’s an honour to have the fantastic Alexis Jaworski taking us behind the scenes of his recent Reportage Award. Great insights into building relationships with not only your clients, but also the guests on the day, the difference a smile can make (spoiler: a huge difference!), and also an exploration of a different frame from the moment – thanks so much, Alexis!
Story Award by Liam Shaw of York Place Studios
One of the main reasons for launching This is Reportage was to showcase the amazing skill and artistry of exceptional documentary wedding photography – but we didn’t only want to showcase and award individual captures. Of course, single moments captured brilliantly are still worth celebrating – and it’s still an extreme skill to capture one! – but we also wanted a place to celebrate the skill of storytelling; of consistently creative and exceptional coverage from a single wedding.
This Is How: ‘Awaiting Arrival’ by Claudia Rose Carter
Such a striking image being spoken about in today’s ‘This is How…’ piece; a real honour to have the fantastic Claudia Rose Carter tell us all about her views and how she specifically captured this image! Really great insights into documentary coverage as a whole, capturing private moments, simplicity, minimalism and more…
This Is How: ‘Ouch!’ by Chris Copeland
A real pleasure to have Belfast-based This is Reportage member Chris Copeland on the site today, taking us behind the scenes of this adorable (and slightly painful-looking!) capture. Really fantastic tips on composition, perspective, and running with the sheer unpredictability of kids (and weddings!)…
