This Is How: ‘Jewish Wedding, 2017’ by Shlomi Amiga
Always an honour to feature a new ‘This is How…’ piece by our This is Reportage members, and today is no exception as the brilliant Shlomi Amiga (Canada) takes us behind the scenes of his recent Reportage Award-winning capture. Really great insights into capturing connections between people – and doing so by not only capturing faces or expressions. A brilliant read; thanks Shlomi!
This Is How: ‘Wedding Storm’ by Ray Anthony Iavasile
Delighted to have a new ‘This is How…’ feature on the site today, with US-based TiR member Ray Anthony Iavasile taking us behind the scenes of this brilliant rainy wedding capture. Ray’s piece is a real masterclass in composition – so much great advice here!
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.
