Wow. Very cool indeed.
Today, Kev and I drove up to the Hilton Hotel, Croydon, to attend “Double Talk” – a day’s seminar on Wedding Photography, hosted by two of the most successful wedding photographers on the planet right now: Joe Buissink, and Yervant!
All I can say is: having won more international awards than you can shake a stick at – these guys really do know their stuff.
Each approaches their wedding photography in quite different ways – Joe, works from Beverley Hills, with a very photojournalistic style, whilst Yervant, based in Australia, shoots “Fashion” wedding style. Each is quite different, but each one was equally inspirational, both showing fantastic photographs, and talking freely and candidly about how they go about “doing their thing”.
We learned a lot, but at the same time, found the day really enjoyable too. Both Joe and Yervant are very charismatic speakers, and it’s clear that they certainly share one thing if nothing else: Passion. I would have to say that over the whole day, this is the feeling I was left with most of all – the passion that both of these massively succesful photographers have for their craft is obvious – and (combined with their equally obvious skills, creative eye, and intimate knowledge of their cameras) is what got them where they are today.
Inspirational stuff – and I hope I can in some way follow in their footsteps, whilst pursuing my own efforts at creating great works of my own!
