Podcast Episode 101: This is Tsvetelina Deliyska
A real pleasure to talk to the fab Tsvetelina Deliyska for episode 101 of the Podcast this week! Based in Bulgaria, Tsveti has won 4 Reportage Awards from us, and 2 Story Awards, and was ranked in our Top 100 Photographers Worldwide for 2020. She talks about lots of different things in the episode, including:
shooting a wedding where both the bride and groom were blind,
how she captured one of her specific Reportage Awards,
live chickens at weddings,
the experience of seeing her work exhibited,
our Netflix synopsis game,
shooting her first weddings on film when she was only 19,
and much more…
This was 2021
Welcome to ‘This is 2021’, where some of our members – 179 of them, to be exact! – share some of their favourite documentary wedding captures from last year. We’re featuring one image per member who contributed, but note that doesn’t mean it’s their single favourite shot of 2021 – how hard would it be to pick just one? – but each image is definitely in that photographer’s Top 5 favourites of the year.
This is Reportage & This is Reportage: Family Christmas Party 2021!
A couple of weeks ago we had our Christmas Party in London, UK, and it was such a great night! For reasons known to the entire world, we were unable to do the party in 2020, so it felt amazing to be able to come together again this year. Very sadly, just a few days before the event, the UK covid travel rules changed, meaning lots of our European members were unable to make it over – such a shame! – but those that managed to come along all had a super (and perhaps, quite drunken…!) time 🙂
Thanks so much to the fab Tom Beynon for capturing the night so brilliantly for us! Here’s a selection of Tom’s images from the night:
Podcast Episode 96: This is Kevin Kheffache
A real pleasure to have the fab Kevin Kheffache on the Podcast for episode 96! As well as being a brilliant wedding photographer (with 11 Reportage Awards and a Story Award to his name), Kevin is also the co-founder of Doc Day, with his wife, Annie Kheffache. It’s an honour to have This is Reportage partnered with Doc Day – the conference that’s all about documentary – and I was lucky enough to have been asked to speak at the inaugural event; it was brilliant, and I can’t wait for Doc Day 2022, where speakers include two of our This is Reportage Photographers of the Year (Fabio Mirulla and Liam Shaw of York Place Studios)! Kevin shares so much in the episode, including:
how he came to be a photographer
how Kevin and Annie got the idea for Doc Day
wed-aches
whether there’s any competitiveness between himself and his very talented wedding photographer wife, Annie Kheffache
our Netflix synopsis game
his personal highlights of the conference, what he’s looking forward to most about Doc Day 2022
and much more…
