My Take
My take on Wedding Photography: Wedding Photography may be one of the most exciting and rewarding experiences as a photographer. At the heart of it all are emotions and people.I try to capture the day as it unfolds from the beginning to the end, while letting the personalities of the individuals show through. The newest craze of wedding photography is the journalism style which I love and do incorporate into my style. Most moments are captured the way they happen and if a few need some artistic guidance I may suggest an idea. What you won't get from me is lot of "tilt your head this way," overly posed shots, or giant props. I want people to be comfortable in front of the camera and appear natural instead of forced smiles. Weddings are a time of celebration and joy, and that is what I aspire to capture.
My take on sports photography: The raw emotions that emit from sporting events are what I find intriguing and inspiring. Emotions are the heart of my photography. There is nothing more pure than children playing the games they love (or hate). Capturing those moments are priceless. Sure the team photos are nice, but they don't capture the essence of the sports.
When my own daughter began playing t-ball I knew instantly I would regret it if I didn't have any photos of her actually playing. Thats when my interest in photography got more serious and my toys got more expensive. In a lot of ways sports photography is a sport itself. It takes anticipation, technique, timing, skill and luck all play a factor in getting great images. You keep trying to get that perfect shot, that defines the moment. And when you do capture a defining moment you get that satisfying feeling that comes with success. One the other hand, missing something spectacular can leave you with just the opposite feeling. That moment is not going to happen again. You can't tell the players to replay it. Thats what separates sports photography from studio photography to me.
My take on portrait photography: When I shoot portraits, I use a style called lifestyle portraiture. This modern style of photography produces photos that emphasize the true personality of an individual. It is not about huge lights, fake sets, forced poses and smiles. By shooting in a comfortable environment such as the subjects home, a park, a city street, or wherever; I want people to be comfortable in front of the camera and appear naturally.
