To Graham, a wedding is a series of scenes, a mixture of emotions, a smile, someone lost in thought, lost in the moment, taking in the event, a crazy dance, something shared with friends and family …… If he captures these then
he has done his job. Although he loves a dramatic couple photograph, no ‘glamour’ shot can substitute for those special moments during a wedding. It’s a challenge to get a great image without directing but that’s what photography is to him. Observing. Capturing. Unfortunately, for him, he doesn’t posses an invisibility cloak, but he does aim to be as unobtrusive as possible. Just another guest with a camera. Using available light helps with this. He likes his images to tell a story, to have a tactile feeling, almost a texture to them.
