People quite often ask me how I came to be a wedding photographer. I still remember borrowing the family instamatic and taking it on scout camps as a boy. I remember one christmas back in the late 70s I got a 110 cartridge camera with a stick of 10 single use flash bulbs.
I joined the army at 16 and my first posting was in the far east where cameras were tax free. It was time to move up to my first SLR. Some years later as we settled in Woking Surrey my hobby became a sideline and then a full time career choice.
Back in those days it was quite fashionable to be self trained. I still think self training is valid because it never ends, there is no graduation, there are no laurels to rest on. I was looking on youtube for more training ideas.
I found this video which shows the evolution that most of us can relate to. Enjoy the work of the great French photographer Bruno Mayor as he shows his rise from hobby photographer to one of the top wedding photographers in the world today. Bruno is a very creative person as well as an amazing photographer so accuracy might have been compromised a little for artistic and entertainment value.
