This is Now
We know the world is still fighting this pandemic – and it’s nowhere near over yet – but it’s been so encouraging and fantastic to see that a lot of our members have been starting to do what they do best: Photographing weddings again.
Of course, rules on weddings differ all over the world, and some of our members are still unable to work at all – but hopefully there is a major light at the end of this tunnel now, and with a lot of our members able to shoot again, we thought it was about time to bring back a regular feature that we’ve really missed: ‘This is Now’, where we highlight some of the brilliant captures our photographers have been taking over the last month or so.
So sit back, grab a coffee, and enjoy these images from over 75 of our members finally being able to do what they really love again: Capturing natural moments.
No poses; nothing staged: This is Reportage.

Members receive 60 Reportage Award entries (for the best individual captures), and 18 Story Award entries (for a series of 15 – 20 images of a single wedding) per year, and many more benefits.

‘This is How’ with Yves Schepers (TiR Photographer of the Year 2020)
So great to have our 2020 Photographer of the Year – the fab Yves Schepers – with us today, talking about how he captured each and every one of his 20 Reportage Awards from 2020! Originally broadcast via Facebook Live, TiR members have the exclusive-access to the re-watch – so this is the only place to watch if you missed it live.
Yves shares *so* much in this 1 hour 40 minutes video, about things such as composition, light, his flash setup, the things he’s looking out for, the beauty of the inbetween moments, the equipment he uses, and so much more… a really great watch; thanks so much, Yves!
Podcast Episode 64: This is Nienke Koedijk
Excited to have spoken to the fab Nienke Koedijk for episode 64 of the This is Reportage Podcast today!
